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

By	Kiala Moore-Sliwa (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very educational and Vibrant, July 20, 2007

By	Robin Edmondson "Oh Robin" (Long Beach, California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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. (Nice and flat)

By	mary lynn denison (holt, mi United States) - See all my reviews

i wish you could have seen his face when i first showed him this book. Utterly fascinated, he asked more questions in that few minutes than i have ever heard him ask in such a short period of time.They are so big, you feel as if you are living in a bug's world
