"Set in an extra-large bold font, the poems range from four lines to several stanzas and each one of them goes for the laugh. Deep colors, especially in the backgrounds, and sweeping lines pump up the volume and help deliver the humor. The final page supplies some information about the species featured in the verses."

School Library Journal

"This book is a must have for the child--or adult--who has a healthy respect for bugs. Polisar also includes a page at the end of each book that gives an interesting fact about each bug featured in his poems. You and your children will enjoy this innovative and talented author/songwriter."

Book Lovers Quarterly

"If you're not familiar with Barry Polisar's enchanting yet loony brand of children's poetry, try his books. There's nothing sugary about Polisar's writing. Zany and somewhat sophisticated, Polisar's poetry is a great way to show the child interested in poetry how much fun you can have writing verse. But it's also an education about the topic of his rhymes.He concludes the book with dictionary definitions of each insect. The illustrations from chiggers to cockroaches to ticks are excellent."

"This sequel to Polisar's poems about animals provide a book packed with funny bugs, from the praying mantis to dung beetles. Polisar's poems are lively and whimsical and David Clark's zany illustrations enhance their fun, providing a wealth of insect expressions and fun perspectives on bugs."

Midwest Book Review

"Soups on! With it's wacky-looking and much bigger-than-life-sized bugs, Insect Soup eats, bites, floats, marches and parties from the first page to the last. Informational rhyming text accompanies each insect. Definitely a picture book that will delight children everywhere."
