Super-Size Bugs by Andrew Davies

Super-Size Bugs, by Andrew Davies, reviewed by Linda Bryant, Hoyt Library Children’s Department
(Sterling, 2007 $9.95 48 pages)
Recommended for ages 5 -10

Love ‘em or hate ‘em – bugs, of course – readers will be fascinated and repelled by this oversize volume. The insect photos are astonishing, full color, crystal clear and super-size! Beetles, bees, mantises, spiders, moths and more are covered, some in gigantic fold-out pages. You won’t believe the detail. Plenty of facts on a bug’s life are given as well. Learn which insect will eat everything it encounters. See the world’s largest moth up close and personal. How can a fragile butterfly travel over 5,000 miles? Which ugly bug, beautiful bug, busy bug or dangerous bug will be your favorite?
