Synopsis

This beginner's guide to insects is a must-have for bug-obsessed young learners as well as for those who are simply curious about these creatures.

With beautifully detailed, realistic paintings, noted wildlife illustrator John Sill introduces readers to a wide variety of insects, from ants and beetles to grasshoppers and the monarch butterfly.

An afterword provides further details, inspiring young readers to learn more.
