Mix and match heads, thoraxes, and abdomens to make 1,000 remarkable insects! From the best-selling illustrator of Flip-a-Feather, Mix-a-Mutt, Flip-o-saurus, and Flip-o-storic comes another book with charming artwork and die-cut pages for flip-and-flop fun―this time with insects! Build-a-Bug lets you create wacky combinations of ten types of insects, including a curious beetle, a climbing caterpillar, and a buzzing honey bee. Each flap includes a fun fact about the pictured species, and inside the front cover is a chart showing the real-life sizes of the insects featured, from the ant to the praying mantis.
This book is a fun option for my stem choice for this week. It serves as a highly engaging tool for children to express their creativity and engage with stem topics albeit a thin slice. I see this being a fun project where the student creates their own build-a-bug book and note what each part does and why it does it or why the insect developed it. My only gripe is the title, I'm not an entomologist however I'm pretty sure none that none of these insects are actually bugs. In short, all bugs are insects but not all insects are bugs. Besides that great for our younger friends wanting to explore insects
