Customer Reviews

fun book for bug lovers

I bought this book for my son for his 6th birthday. He loves it. The photographs are great and it is very informative. Great for young science lovers.

I'm a big fan of the DK readers.

They're simply written non-fiction books. Most non-fiction books are written for older kids, or for younger kids only as read-alouds. A series of *factual* books that early readers can read to themselves? Brilliant. Not every kid wants fairies and talking dinosaurs all the time. Sometimes, they really just want plain facts. I really like these books. I do have one minor problem with them, and that is that the text is really not laid out in the best way for this stage of reader. It can be a little distracting, jumping from section to section, and the text-boxes aren't any help - the information they contain should really be integrated into the main text instead.

VERY Fascinating book!

This is just a great book! Moms and dads will be just as interested in learning about these bugs as the young ones are. Hearing the word, "cool" when learning about science, etc., is quite nice and this book does that job very well. It's pretty neat seeing the praying mantis eat a fly, the dragonfly that was rotted into a rock, and all about the thorn bugs. Great reading for young ones, not too difficult but the little captions everywhere might make it confusing for those readers not quite sure of themselves. For that reason, might suggest a little older age just for the understanding of it. Probably 7, more towards 8. At any rate, it's loved greatly in this house! Highly, highly recommend!

Just Plain Buggy!

My sons enjoyed this book tremendously. I heard the word "cool" come out of thier mouths more than once. The pictures were very detailed. It was easy for my first grader to read.
