This big book is a good size to drop on a bug, although once you read it you may not want to, because they are so very interesting. If you really, really like bugs, or even if you don’t particularly like them but find them strangely fascinating, this is a book for you. There were insects before the dinosaurs, and they will probably survive long after us; 90% of animal species on earth are insects. Insects rule! Each double page of this book is a new, interesting bug or part of a bug. From pictures to games, there’s always something new. Find out what’s inside bugs, how they fly, how they walk on the ceiling, what the largest and the smallest are, how strong they are compared to you, how their eyes work, how they hide and hunt, and how many there are in your backyard! Learn about the cochineal beetle, which makes red dye, and silkworms that make silk, see pet bugs, musical bugs, glowing bugs, the most poisonous bugs, and the most tasty. Yes, tasty! With recipes for you to try! How about some crispy mealworm stir-fry tonight? (p. 38). Or bee grubs in coconut cream? This book is fun to just open up to any page, or look up your favorite bugs and find out all their strange habits. The cover even makes buzzing noises, for people who just can’t get enough buggy company.
