Ask a Bug

April 25, 2011
"The word âbugs' can include not insects but also other creepy crawlies... such as scorpions, millipedes, and woodlice. Come and meet us!" invites this paper-over-board guide to the beetles, butterflies, bees, and more. Full-bleed photographs give readers a closeup view of each species, while small insets show the comparative size of each next to a human hand. Numerous questions are posed to the subjects of each spread ("What do baby ants look like?" "Why do crickets sing?"), and the answers appear amid a multitude of facts that should easily hold the interest of amateur entomologists. Also available: Ask a Dinosaur. Ages 6â10.
