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.

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.

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)

The title is deceptive. It is a children's book with very large pictures of very few insects. I wanted a book with more info than it contains.

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

We purchased this for our 7 year old grandson. It has great illustrations and big print. He is able to read most of the information. I think it could include a little more detail about each bug, but, overall it is a good, educational book.

Big Book of Bugs This book is just what I wanted for my granddaughter. She is so curious about bugs...
everything from butterflies to dragonflies to stick bugs to beetles. The illustrations are great, and the text is written
so that it is manageable for a young reader as well as enjoyable to listen to by a child who does not yet read.

It's definitely a big book in overall size, but I was disappointed in the number of pages and quantity of information inside. The pictures are vibrant and a great teaching tool. My 4 year old son thinks it's great, but I think they're gross! But, hey the book's not for me! I bought this book with a bug vaccuum and bug jar to teach him about the bugs he caught, but it mostly shows bugs that are exotic and poisonous. It had to spend a few minutes reassuring him that the bugs he was about to collect with his new toys weren't going to hurt him. I should have found a book that had more common bugs that we find around our area.

I purchased this book for my 2 1/2 year old for Christmas along with the The Encyclopedia of Animals: A complete visual guide. Although she likes looking at the pictures she seems to be drawn to the encyclopedia of animals. I would recommend this book to anyone who has a child that has an interest in insects. Otherwise the other book has more to look at and has a section on insects.

My 4yr son recieved this for his birthday and absolutely loves it! The real life pictures are fantastic, and lets him see what the insects really look like. I would recommend this book anyone who has a young "bug lover".
