Calling all young bug enthusiasts! Come along on a journey into The Weird and Wonderful World of Bugs. Kids from ages 5 to 7 will learn all about the insects and other arthropods we call "bugs."

Discover intriguing facts like:
  • More than one-third of all the insects on Earth are beetles. There are almost 390,000 species!
  • Some ants are farmers! They bring leaves back to the nest and use them to grow fungus, which they feed to their babies.
  • Pillbugs are a type of crustacean—like crabs—with many legs, a hard exoskeleton, and gills that need water to breathe.

Leap, fly, and crawl into a big world of small wonders with this incredible bug book for kids.
