"A perfect book to intrigue, delight and inform nature loving children."
Award-winning duo, Susan Martineau and Vicky Barker creep, crawl, leap and buzz their way through bug world to find the answers to a range of fascinating questions about the insect world, from ‘Are bugs and insects the same thing?’ to ‘What is the heftiest spider?’ and ‘How long is the longest stick insect?’
This highly engaging information text is full of fascinating facts, intricate and closely observed illustrations and a wide variety of subject specific vocabulary, which teaches children much about the fascinating world of bugs. Engaging layouts showcase a variety of information in different ways, including labelled diagrams and explanations, scientific and mathematical concepts and a glossary of special bug words at the end of the book, which ensures that children can understand and use a wide range of technical vocabulary. The book also gives readers an important understanding of why these magnificent creatures are essential to life on Earth.
This would be a perfect pairing with Boing! By James Carter, which contains lively and informative poems about minibeasts alongside more fascinating facts.
