About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts crouching down in the grass to watch a beetle or brings home a collection of 'treasures' from the backyard. It is the perfect tool for a child transitioning from picture books to independent reading who expresses a deep fascination with the natural world. By focusing on the extraordinary details of common insects, the book validates a child's natural curiosity and encourages them to look closer at the environment around them. This DK Level 2 Reader uses high-quality photography and accessible text to explain how bugs eat, move, and survive. It captures the 'wow' factor of science without being overwhelming. Parents will appreciate how it builds confidence in early readers by using clear labels and repetitive sentence structures, making it an ideal choice for a 'big kid' who is proud of their growing vocabulary and eager to share facts about their favorite creepy crawlies.

Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and scientific. It mentions the predator-prey relationship (bugs eating other bugs) in a direct, factual manner. There is no gore, but the reality of the food chain is presented clearly.
