5.0 out of 5 stars Great nonfiction book on insects and arachnids, April 4, 2000

By A Customer

This book was fantastic. It had a great deal of interesting information about 26 different bugs. The text was still simple enough for children of all ages to enjoy. My preschoolers loved it!

4.0 out of 5 stars my son loves it!, August 3, 2002

By	lindsay (Grand Rapids, MN USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Icky Bug Alphabet book (Board book)

I bought this book for my son for his 4th birthday (he helped pick it out) and it is one of his favorite books. He has had it less than 6 months and can tell you what every bug is and something about it. If you have a bug lover its a great book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful book, July 8, 2008

By	I. Polt-Jones "twinfant mom at twinfant.com" (East Bay, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This beautifully illustrated book introduces young children to the wonderful world of insects. I read it to my girls from a very young age and at age two they could identify pretty much every insect in there. They enjoy looking for bugs in their garden too. Children will enjoy the short descriptive text. The illustrations really make this book a delight.
