Beautiful, informative, and surprising. A perfect gift for the child in your life who loves bugs.

[Clémentine · Rating 3 out of 5]

C'est une livre magnifiquement illustré avec de court texte pour exprimer l'excentricité de l'insecte en question. Le livre se présente, ce qu'il fait très bien, comme une anthologie, c'est-à-dire, des présentation d'insectes et non des descriptions détaillés. Parfait pour les novices en entomologies qui voudrais aussi un très belle objet. L'écriture n'est pas infantilisante, ce qui un plus.

very cute book that taught me 1) moths are so freaking cool and 2) there are so many weird lookin bugs out there.

Not every book has to be a 700 page classic. Sometimes it's just fun to learn bug facts
