The detailed illustrations and little known facts about the featured insects were fascinating. As I read this book, there was no doubt in my mind about the scientific accuracy of the information presented in either word or picture.

The authors planned well when they made the main characters insects that everyone would be familiar with. Building on that, the book points out prominent characteristics of the featured insects that readers could easily overlook or be unaware of.

I liked that fuller coverage of the insects was included in the latter
portion of the book for the older readers, and that, after looking at such
large descriptive pictures throughout the book, things were put back into
perspective in the conclusion.

This book was very well thought out, and the authors have done a fabulous
job!
I ordered a second copy to donate to a local public school library. And they were thrilled with it!

Gee, bugs can be fun!
