A worthy third entry in Skye Wade’s Bug Books for Children series, it is as impactful as the first two books, “What Bug Am I?” and “Where is My Family?”
This book tells us about little Hawk Moth who is quite depressed at being “just a bug” and not having any special talents like some other bugs do. It takes some other friendly bugs to help him realise that he too has an important place in nature.
The structure of this book is similar to the first two. So we have the story and the factual information coming on alternate pages. Hawk Moth’s story is written in an early chapter book style, with a few difficult popping in at times but still a manageable read for most children with adult guidance. The factual page come wonderfully organised, with actual photographs of the bug, its habits, and interesting trivia related to its characteristics.
The illustrations in the story section of the story are as vibrant as in the earlier books.
This is not my favourite book in the series but it is still a book I would recommend to every little reader. If you love bugs, you will enjoy the story and the facts. If you are afraid of bugs, you will learn whether you really need to be frightened of them. If you hate them, I hope the book teaches you enough of their importance to the natural world and you’ll stop squashing them (or at least, most of them.)
4.5 stars.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author at my request and these are my honest thoughts about it. Thank you very much for this opportunity to read and review your work, Skye. 😊
Here are the first two books of this series:
Book 1: What Bug am I?
Book 2: Where is My Family?

I always enjoy reading Skye Wade's informative bug storybooks, and this one is no exception.
I did notice several punctuation issues and missing words. For the story sections of the book, there are a lot of words on each page, which makes it challenging to read aloud. I would love if the story sections were more condensed so that I could read it aloud to a younger child.
However, I appreciate the message that we are each unique and beautiful, and I love the scientific pages about different bugs. I give this book four stars and would recommend it for home/school libraries.
I received an advance copy of this book for free, and I'm leaving this review voluntarily.
