The Big Book of Bugs

Celebrating 10 years of this gloriously illustrated, fact-filled book for young children about all kinds of creepy crawlies. 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 pages 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 sections approach the world of bugs thematically, such as bugs that come out at night, baby creepy-crawlies and life cycles, how bugs hide and show off and how some bugs love to live in your home. The text is chatty, funny and full of amazing facts. This special 10-year anniversary edition features 16 brand-new fully illustrated pages with even more brilliant bugs to discover.
