The Story
Just how slow does a snail go? Are bugs afraid of the dark? Why do ants march in a line? Find out the answers to these and many more bug questions. Play search and find in the pictures, too. Will you spot all the bugs? Meet all kinds of flying, stinging, wriggling bugs from around the world in this first animal book to share with young children. It's packed with facts about how different kinds of bugs eat, hunt, and have babies in the wild.
Introductory spreads explain that bugs live nearly everywhere on Earth and give tips on how to become a young bug spotter. The book is divided into key groups of bugs, including beetles, moths, butterflies, bees, snails, crickets, grasshoppers, worms, and spiders, all illustrated with scenic compositions. Some spreads approach the world of bugs thematically, showing bugs that come out at night, baby creepy--crawlies and their life cycles, how bugs hide and show off, and how some bugs love to live in your home. The text is engaging, funny, and full of amazing facts.
This special ten--year anniversary edition includes eight new fully illustrated pages with even more amazing bugs to discover.
