Customer Reviews

A great book for anyone who likes nature and pets

I found this book very interesting and helpful. It told how to catch and keep insects and non-insects(like slugs and worms). It also told about the creature and it's behavior, as well as where it is found. For anyone even a little interested in bugs as more than "yucky", this book is for them.

Bugs and MORE bugs !

If you had read "Pet Bugs: A Kid's Guide to Catching and Keeping Touchable Insects", you would notice how interesting, informative and how organised each chapter is. For those of you who read the first book and was hoping there was another, here it is ! "More Pet Bugs : A Kid's Guide to Catching and Keeping Insects and Other Small Creatures" introduces even more strange and slimy creatures that you can keep !The chapters in the book, like the first, are divided by the characteristics of the bug. For example in the " bugs that live in water" section, you will learn how to keep bugs that live in water. Apart from teaching you how to keep the critters, the book also teaches you where to find and how to catch these slimy bugs. And if that isn't enough, there's also easy to understand facts about the bug's behaviour !With over 20 new bugs, from ants to aquatic planarians to crayfish, this book will amuse and inform people of all ages.Fans of these two books "Pet Bugs: A Kid's Guide to Catching and Keeping Touchable Insects" and "More Pet Bugs : A Kid's Guide to Catching and Keeping Insects and Other Small Creatures" can only hope that Sally Kneidel would write a third book to accompany these two.
