A Kid's Review

This review is from: Animal Records - Amazing Book of Insect Records (Hardcover)

I read this wonderful book called Insect Records. It talks about what are the biggest insect and the smallest. It talks about more insects too. I would recommend this book to people who love insects. My favorite insect is the harvester ant. The harvester ant is the most poisonous insect. My second favorite insect is the horsefly. The horsefly is the smallest insect.

I think the book is trying to say, love insects. I love some insects but not all of them. I also think this book is trying to say, care for insects. I know some insects are friendly and some are not. I really think this book is trying to say, have an insect for a pet. This is a wonderful book to read to my little sisters. My cousin loves insects, when he sees insects he tries to get all of them.

I thought this book was the bomb. I hope you guys liked my book review. I really liked this book so much that I want to read it again and again, my sisters love this book so much.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Animal Records - Amazing Book of Insect Records (Hardcover)

Insect Record's is a great book to read if you have spare time. They have the fattest, fastest, biggest and many more! This book is a great guide for bug seekers who are #1 bug catchers. The book will tell you which bugs are deadly and which are wimpy. You could see if you caught one already! Insect Record's is a book for all kids. It's also good for tests. This book will also keep you laughing. This book will probably be the best book you've read all year!

The book's message is laughter. You can never have too much fun! Laughing is the great cure for everybody! I hope you read this book.

I think this book is funny because it has weird pictures. There was one insect that travels a lot. It had a picture of an insect traveling with bags full of clothes. On a scale of 0% to 100% I would give it a 100%!
