Some have wings that shimmer bright... Some live deep in the earth, hidden from sight... Some have a venomous, deadly bite... It's time to meet the BUGS!
Discover a secret world thriving right underneath your feet. From beetles to butterflies, spiders to scorpions, meet the most bizarre and awe-inspiring bugs ever to walk the Earth! Author Simon Mole turns fascinating facts into poems full of humour and heart; Adam Ming’s illustrations are a riot of colour and energy, helping these extraordinary creatures to jump off the page. Here is the insect kingdom in all its glory – and here is a book that children will want to read over and over again.
