What reviewers said
"This bug book was of great interest to the grandkids, who are fascinated with bugs and enjoying learning to identify them. They also enjoy being able to share knowledgeable facts with others about the bugs. "
âRea Manderino is a top-notch science writer with an expert eye for the coolest stories in insect biology. If youâre a parent who wants their kids to get interested in biology, this is the book to start that journey.â
"This book is packed full of fun facts and everyone learned something new! My kids had a blast going outside, catching bugs and comparing them to the ones in the book. We even made a contest to see who could find the most bugs in our backyard that were also in the book. Our whole family enjoyed the bug learning adventure this book inspired us to go on."
"This is a great educational book for little entomologists. It's good quality but small and lightweight enough for little ones, with tons of vibrant photos and illustrations. The text itself is accessible but doesn't talk down to the reader. Even as an adult, I found it very informative."
