What the reviewers say:"Not only cicada fans will enjoy this lovely book because the title says it all; the cicadas are coming. First off, this is an amazingly, illustrated book. The photographs not only are well done, but they are spot on and coincide very nicely with the text. Not only are the cicadas shown in their natural settings with tons of details, but there's even a cross-section of one (which was found dead) to help readers see exactly the parts of the cicadas, which are being explained. I can't imagine a better way to bring across the information visually...." more at: Bookworm for Kids "The Cicadas Are Coming! exceeds our expectations. He has captured every detail of the cicadas' life cycle through photographs. He must have spent many, many hours to explore each life stage -- inside and out -- so thoroughly. The photographs are so amazing that the text seems hardly needed. But don't ignore the text. Wechsler explains the life of cicadas in an engaging way. He also includes fun fact sidebars to keep young readers turning pages. Did you know that a cicada's ears are on its abdomen?....

So accurate - the day after it arrived the cicadas crawled out and my grandson could understand what was going on thanks to the photographs and text we had looked at the day before. I think the pictures were so different from the cute cartoonish representations we had seen before that he was a little put off, though fascinated. So glad that I bought this! " - D.
