Bugs Are Insects

What makes an insect an insect? What makes a bug a bug? Named an Outstanding Science Trade Book by the National Science Teachers Association this picture book invites budding young entomologists to discover the tiny creatures that build homes and stalk prey right in their own backyards. In this classic Level 1 Let’s-Read-and- Find-Out picture book Anne Rockwell's clear and graceful text combines with Caldecoti Medal Honoree Steve Jenkins’s exquisitely detailed cut-paper collages to bring readers into the fascinating world of insects. Now rebranded with a new look this book includes additional activities such as conducting an insect survey drawing a picture of your favorite insects and planting a butterfly garden. Both text and artwork were vetied for accuracy by Dr. Ed Spevak Curator of Invertebrates and Director of the Saint Louis Zoo's Wild Care Institute Center for Native Pollinator Conservation.
