A wide variety of bugs are introduced to beginning readers via short poems and mixed-media illustrations. Twenty-eight critters, including millipedes, beetles, snails, spiders, ants, and bees, are featured on full-page spreads, with engaging illustrations and narrative, fact-filled poems that provide the basics about each bug. End pages provide additional details about what insects are, what types of creatures the other featured bugs are, additional ways bugs are amazing, and how you can be a bug lover and helper. A fun way to look at the critters without focusing on facts, instead seeing them for what they are.
