An extraterrestrial pop-up book is filled with theories about the ridiculous insect life that inhabits a remote Saturn moon, and each spread concentrates on an array of flying, biting, stinging, scary, and noisy Bugz.

From Publishers Weekly
Kids' seemingly never-ending fascination with creepy-crawlies gets an out-of-this-world workout in this ant-ic extravaganza. Clever paper engineering breathes life into van der Meer's vividly hued pop-ups; a few liftable flaps and pull-tabs add more monstrous mirth. (A particular surprise is provided by the "Hip-hopper," a splendidly grotesque creation that emerges full-blown from a mere slot.) "The Original Field Notes of Dr. June Beadle," a small pamphlet inserted into the book's opening page, explains the "discovery" of these specimens on "a remote moon of Saturn called Zorn." Though kids will appreciate some of the book's zany descriptions, much of the humor expresses an adult sensibility--one bug which looks like a tarantula but is instead a Spyder "may be an insect with an identity crisis"; a blimp-shaped character is "The Hindenbug." Several entomological facts are scattered throughout the silliness; however, the whimsical tone may give readers some difficulty in separating fact from fiction. Ages 7-up.
