Description

The world is filled with bugs—and with kids who love to examine them and discover everything they can about them. When readers open this book, they'll discover everything they've ever wanted to know about insects and many other creepy-crawlies. The author's lively text is complemented by illustrations, magnified bug photos, flaps, fold-outs, mini-booklets, a bug "movie" wheel to turn, and a fun quiz at the back of the book. Here are insects, spiders, centipedes, scorpions, and tarantulas. There's also the insect world's powerful flying predator, the dragonfly, and the tarantula hawk wasp, a lethal flyer that takes its name from its habit of killing tarantulas. Kids will discover that the cicada is the world's loudest animal in relation to its size, and they'll explore the complex hive of the honeybee. Each two-page spread features a different category of bug, including insects with killer stings, masters at flying, bugs that make noises, and bugs that are simply disgusting.
