A beautifully illustrated look inside the fascinating world of creepy-crawlies, with stunning three-dimensional pop-ups.
Larger-than-life bugs spring from the pages, peek out from behind flaps, and hide under tabs, inviting young entomologists to marvel at the mind-boggling variety of arthropod life. What reader can resist a chance to look inside a cockroachβs body to see how it works or open a waspsβ nest to see whatβs inside?
Useful information, such as why the world needs bees, and scientific trivia, like which beetles are the strongest and fastest, pack every page. Meanwhile, exquisite art and dramatic pop-ups bring the world of bugs to life in Bugs by George McGavin.
