Reviews

[Karen GoatKeeper · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an easy introduction to the world of insects and spiders. It discusses various groups of each along with some general comments about them.
The illustrations are excellent, almost photographic, yet more informative.

Very educational

Filled with interesting facts but it didn't hold my girls' attention. Just too much info. for them at their age levels. We didn't even finish the book. It would be fine for older kids. With so many bug books out there I'm sure there are plenty that are better suited for my two.
