Review by School Library Journal Review

Gr 1--4--With vibrant photographs and illustrations on every page to go along with insets, main text, and "fact files," there is plenty here to keep elementary readers engaged. Hubbard devotes at least one full page to each insect described. Illustrations and photographs appear in full color. Details about every insect include length, habitat, diet, and location, and the book covers insects from all parts of the world. A table of contents allows readers to easily flip back and forth between examples within the species. There are a few graphic details about the ways certain insects trap and devour their prey, although devoted insect lovers will likely not mind. Back matter features a section on bug-hunting to examine insects without harming them, as well as a photo array of all featured bugs, a glossary of terms, and an index. VERDICT With many insects that even well-informed entomology enthusiasts may not know, this book provides solid information without overwhelming readers.--Jessica Epstein
