Customer Reviews

HUGE Book

This book is so fun, but it is huge. It was surprising to open because I didn’t look at dimensions before ordering. It is a HUGE hit though ;)

Bugs Are The Best

Great book for my Grandson. He loves to hunt for bugs and now we can name each one, which he does every time. Makes the day an exciting one for him and for me as I know he is learning about things and being able to remember each one by name. Highly think this book is great for any youngster who loves to learn about different bugs.

4yr old loves this book!

My 4yr son recieved this for his birthday and absolutely loves it! The real life pictures are fantastic, and lets him see what the insects really look like. I would recommend this book anyone who has a young "bug lover".

Very educational and Vibrant

I bought about 5 of these last Christmas for some 4-8 year old boys I know that love bugs. Considering I can't stand the creatures, this book traumatized me. But those boys absolutely loved the HUGE up-close-and-personal color pictures and non-sugar coated descriptions. Very educational, I would recommend for teachers as well. A great deal and ships well. (Nice and flat)

Bug Crazy Kid

I have a 2 1/2 year old son who is crazy about bugs. This book has real photographs of all kinds of bugs. The photos are large and show a lot of detail. He loves this book and wants to look at it daily. I would definitely recommend this book for any child who is crazy about bugs.

big book of bugs

i wish you could have seen his face when i first showed him this book. Utterly fascinated, he asked more questions in that few minutes than i have ever heard him ask in such a short period of time.They are so big, you feel as if you are living in a bug's world
