I heart bugs. I didn't heart this book. Facts were vague and mostly useless. Meh.

[Max · Rating 4 out of 5]

I learned lots of new facts & information from this book! Though I knew some of the bugs in the book. Such as: The Giant Weta & More!!

[Janika Puolitaival · Rating 4 out of 5]

Selkeä kuvitus, kivaa nippelitietoa, sopivan ällöttävä.

[Tapani Aulu · Rating 3 out of 5]

Makeita kuvia erilaisista ötököistä, suurista ja pienistä, kauniista ja pelottavista.
