Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 3-6-Despite its catchy title, this is not a book about true bugs, but a survey of insects, a distinction more clearly spelled out in the book's subtitle. Large, bright, detailed paintings, starting with an enormous, face-to-face encounter with a grasshopper on the cover, will draw readers in. After a one-page introduction explaining how Carolus Linnaeus grouped insects by wing types, the book provides one or two double-page spreads for each of the nine selected insect orders. Within each order, several common and exotic species are highlighted. Researchers looking for information on specific species will find only rudimentary information here, but the book holds together well as a survey of the classification of insects. The intelligent text and eye-popping illustrations make this a solid choice amid the many insect books available.

Gr. 4-6. Excellent scientific illustrations by Julian Mulock are what kids will see first. Their extraordinary details will attract not only children curious about bugs but also budding entomologists. Bugs in 9 of the 28 insect orders are introduced with the scientific name of the order, followed by a brief overview of major characteristics and thumbnail descriptions attractively placed at various intervals across the pages. Oddly, the labeling and scale of the artwork seems somewhat haphazard: a few examples are pictured "actual size"; at other times "actual size" silhouettes appear on the page; sometimes there's no clue about scale. The text is both informal and informative, highlighting interesting information about each insect. Age-appropriate follow-up resources are appended. Stephanie Zvirin
