5.0 out of 5 stars Bug Crazy Kid, October 11, 2005

This review is from: Big Book of Bugs (Hardcover)

I have a 2 1/2 year old son who is crazy about bugs. This book has real photographs of all kinds of bugs. The photos are large and show a lot of detail. He loves this book and wants to look at it daily. I would definitely recommend this book for any child who is crazy about bugs.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not your backyard variety, May 30, 2008

This review is from: Big Book of Bugs (Hardcover)

My 4½ year old daughter is in love with bugs and so I went looking for books on the subject. We have a couple other Big Books and they are great but this one was a bit too exotic and the backyard variety of bugs was missing. My daughter wanted to see the common bugs she sees everyday. It was a disapointment for both of us.

This review is from: Big Book of Bugs (Hardcover)

I bought about 5 of these last Christmas for some 4-8 year old boys I know that love bugs. Considering I can't stand the creatures, this book traumatized me. But those boys absolutely loved the HUGE up-close-and-personal color pictures and non-sugar coated descriptions. Very educational, I would recommend for teachers as well. A great deal and ships well.
