Mad About Bugs

I ordered a Kids’ Outdoor Explorer Kit for my 6 years old grandson, and bought this little book to give with the kit. The listing gives very little detail, so I didn’t know what it was like inside - but I have always loved Ladybird books so, at this price, I took a chance on it (despite some of the reviews). It was also to make up a £20+ order (for free delivery!).The book was published in 2008, but its content is still very relevant today. I had hoped it would list, and show pictures of, individual bugs common to UK gardens, ponds, parklands, rivers, and beaches etc. as shown on the cover, for identification purposes. I assumed it would give their names, along with some information about them - in other words, that it would be more explicit. But, in fact, it is a perfect introductory book and is one that my grandson can read, understand, and learn from.In simple terms, this book explains what bugs are, what their bodies are like, about their life cycles, and how they move. It also gives some information on bugs on land, underground, in the air, and on water. It mentions bug societies (bugs who live in groups) and ends with a brief bugs fact file, and a glossary…. and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. My grandson will too!

Great little book to read with my 4 year old grandson who loves everything about the animal world, also bought the mad about sharks. Lots of info and pictures, and right size to be "portable". Wish they did the whole range of "mad about" titles in book form as much easier to share and talk about with a young child

Good value for money

Delighted thanks

Fascinating book bought for my Grandson who loved the content. This book will last him for a few years before being passed down to his little brother

Book is a lot smaller than I was expectingColourful pictures so hope grandson likes holding it to look at
