Customer Reviews

Bright, interesting way to LEARN!

There's a lot of writing and pictures in this book. My son examined the pictures and drawings closely, but isn't ready for so much reading quite yet at 6 years. So this book is good for a wide range of ages and interests. The pages are very crowded and colorful.

Big pictures

This is a wonderful book filled with just enough detail about all types of bugs. The book is truly big but thin enough so it doesn't take that much space. It is organized into categories of bugs then describes the different bugs of that category. My 4 year old daughter is very interested in this subject and the great pictures keep her so interested when we read it to her. There are actual pictures of bugs and not illustrations.

Great Book!

My 5 year old grandson is going through the "bug stage". I have given him the bug vacuum and habitat and the Lady Bug habitat. He will sit for long periods of time just reading this book. He loves to take the book out in the backyard to match what he finds out there with what is in the book. Best money I have spent for him in a while. I encourage anyone with a child that's buggy over bugs to make the purchase.

very informative

learned alot of the type of bugs that my son has grown attached to! Sounds weird i know!

love the bugs

I am not too big on bugs, but my kindergarten class is. This book will answer many of their questions, especially about the roles of various bugs. The pictures are absolutly beautiful and full of details. This book is a great reference book to have for those children that are "buggy".
