The Book of Brilliant Bugs

Jewel beetles, butterflies and the less celebrated insects underfoot get full-page photographic treatment in an introduction to bug life for children. Short factual entries explain how insects feed, move, defend themselves and fit into the habitats around them, supported by photographs detailed enough to show wing structure and colour. The layout encourages flipping between species and comparing them, and several sections point readers outside to look for the same creatures in a garden or park. A closer look: • Close photography of insects from beetles to butterflies • Facts on behaviour, habitat and life cycles in plain language • Comparisons that show how varied insect bodies can be • Aimed at readers roughly six to nine years old A good pick for young naturalists, classrooms and home libraries, published by DK Publishing and available through Boipoka.
