Excellent children's book on bugs. My boys learned a lot. It's brought out consistently in the summer to learn about the bugs around them.

This is a fun and fascinating interactive insect book for children. Featured throughout the book are different minibeasts -- each given a spread in detail and paired with *real photos* of the critters, all labelled in nice detail.
Throughout these spreads of nonfiction information about particular critters are sprinkled interactive prompts for children. For example, there is a Bug Behavior Scavenger Hunt with 9 behaviors to spot and check off (e.g. singing, flying, building, and so on). A few other examples: make a bug hotel, weave a spider web, build a nature bug).
At the back of the book is My Bug Log where children can write some detail as well as a couple pages of stickers to help keep track of different bugs spotted. There is also a little magnifying glass included with the book (though it admittedly is pretty flimsy and won't last outside for too long).
I appreciate that the differences between an insect and spider and worm and other critters are discussed in detail to avoid confusion.
I think kids that love insects will find this fun to look at -- I especially love that real photos are used and there is a considerable effort here to cover a wide variety of insects and related critters. Very fun!
***Note: I was given a review copy of this book by Storey Publishing. Opinions are my own.
