Insect from Outer Space

I picked out Insect From Outer Space by Vladimir Vagin mainly for my child study buddy because he loves books about space. This book was more of a futuristic Sci-Fi story because of the talking insects, and the outer space aspect. The story, told in first person, is about an insect who is bad at dancing but still goes to this big ball, and during this large ball, a spaceship of insects from a different planet come and the insects from different planets exchange dance moves, food, etc. This is almost far fetched-but it would be kind of an interesting book to read to children around Thanksgiving time, going along with the theme of two cultures meeting each other for the first time and not knowing what to expect, but then sharing traditions. I love that the author throws in this idea because I feel like it’s not like one I’ve read before.
The story is for kids probably in the first or second grade, and the text contains a lot of dialogue for kids just learning it. The pictures are very interesting to look at, being immensely detailed. Vladimir Vagin, who also illustrated the book, were first drawn in p pencil and then painted in watercolor
