There are some breathtaking close ups in this book. Insects seem to look at readers as though we are the strange creatures. As odd as it may sound, you can hear the quiet in these photographs, and feel a certain fragility of life. Frost's poem encourages children to examine the world around them, and understand that insects are living important lives of their own. Each insect is named and discussed briefly at the back of the book. I'm giving Step Gently Out 4 stars instead of 5 because while the subjects of Lider's photos are gorgeous, his compositions aren't very diverse.

Great pictures that have readers lingering over the small details. Poem is met with nonfiction excerpts about the insects.

Beautiful photographs and a "gentle" reminder to stop and look at the world we live in.

Absolutely stunning photography along with a lovely poem. Too bad libraries don't double catalog, this would be a nice addition to the bug books too!
