Robert F. Sibert Medal winner Bugs, of all kinds, were considered to be "born of mud" and to be "beasts of the devil." Why would anyone, let alone a girl, want to study and observe them? One of the first naturalists to observe live insects directly, Maria Sibylla Merian was also one of the first to document the metamorphosis of the butterfly. In this visual nonfiction biography, richly illustrated throughout with full-color original paintings by Merian herself, the Newbery Honor-winning author Joyce Sidman paints her own picture of one of the first female entomologists and a woman who flouted convention in the pursuit of knowledge and her passion for insects.

Won’t Fit No Matter What
Size: 9.5, Color: Cs05 White, Size: 9.5, Color: Cs05 White
These shoes don’t stretch so I was unable to get my foot in the shoe. They are my size, but the opening has no stretch so you can’t get your foot in the shoe. I tried several different ways and then realized even though the shoe is the correct size, the opening was too small. They made the opening for the shoe probably the same size on all shoes, so unless you have kids feet you won’t even be able to slide them on. I’ve never had a shoe I couldn’t get on. I’ve worn Sketchers no problem. This is design flaw and I highly recommend you don’t buy!

Really comfortable!!!
Size: 11, Color: New Black05
These tennis shoes are so comfortable!!!
I would recommend anybody to get these, especially if you do a lot of walking they’re very light but have a good heal support and the soul is nice and soft and cushy..
They’re also so cute. I got the blue ones and red also.

Comfortable, Practical Everyday Cotton Shorts That Hit Most of the Right Notes
Size: Large, Color: 2 Pack - Navy
These Fruit of the Loom Eversoft cotton shorts are exactly the kind of go-to casual shorts you reach for when comfort matters more than fashion. They’re soft, simple, and dependable — great for lounging around the house, running errands, or just staying comfortable on warm days.
The Eversoft cotton lives up to its name. The fabric feels genuinely soft against the skin and stays comfortable even after hours of wear. It’s not clingy or rough, and it breathes well enough to keep you cool on a hot afternoon. For everyday comfort, they’re noticeably better than basic cotton shorts that can feel stiff or scratchy.
One of the features that makes these a practical choice is the pockets. They’re real pockets — roomy enough to hold your phone, wallet, keys, or whatever you carry on a quick outing. That’s worth calling out because a lot of lounge shorts feel great but skimp on usable storage. These don’t.
The fit is relaxed without being sloppy. The elastic waistband with drawstring adjusts easily and stays comfortable through activity or inactivity. They don’t dig in or feel restrictive, which makes them easy to wear for sleeping, working from home, watching TV, or walking the dog.
Build quality is solid for the price point. The stitching holds up through wear and washes, and the shorts don’t lose shape or shrink dramatically after laundering. They’re not going to feel like premium athletic gear or performance fabrics, but for what they are — casual cotton shorts — they stay reliable over time.
These aren’t going to be your choice for intense workouts, formal occasions, or anything that demands technical fabrics, but for everyday comfort and simplicity, they’re hard to beat. Soft, breathable cotton with pockets and a dependable fit makes these shorts versatile and easy to wear on repeat.
Overall, these Fruit of the Loom Eversoft shorts are exactly what most people want from casual summertime wear: comfortable, practical, and dependable. Five stars for everyday use and solid comfort.

Comfortable Everyday Cotton Shorts
Size: XX-Large, Color: 2 Pack - Black
Soft fabric, good stretch, and a relaxed fit that lands at a perfect length, these shorts hit that sweet spot between lounge wear and quick‑errand gear. The waistband has enough give without feeling flimsy, the pockets are actually usable, and the overall feel stays comfortable through the day. For the price, they’re an easy pickup that delivers exactly what you want from simple cotton shorts.
