An exquisite glimpse into the strange and wonderful world of insects. Right now, all around you, thousands of insects are doing strange and wonderful things.

Sometimes you have to know where to look...This wonderful book, illustrated by Charlotte Voake and written by Steve Voake, tells us all about the different kinds of insects hiding away in your garden and how to recognize them. It's full of glorious detail, but remember – if it doesn't have six legs, it's not an insect!

This book is fabulous and fascinating. It is perfect for us right now as everything is coming out to play and AppleBlossom is constantly asking what is this and that. While this is above her reading level, it is a great read aloud. She will even go back and stare while flipping the pages and telling me what is what that she sees within. While I would prefer that she not grow up to specialize in bugs and insects, this is a very interesting child's read. So many facts and quite enjoyable. This book will definitely fill many hours with education. I'm also quite a fan of the artistry and I think it fits the book perfectly.
