Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description
The fifth title in the popular Stars of Nature series, focuses on the world of bugs. Sumptuous and detailed illustrations have pride of place in this magical book that mixes natural history with a splash of fantasy, creating a book to be pored over time and again. Let a friendly ladybird guide you through this beautiful first guide to bug life. Learn about bug habitats - who lives where, teeny tiny bugs  (featherwing beetles) to the largest of critters (giant stick insect and goliath beetles).
Find out the amazing things that bugs can do, like flying high or disguising themselves. 
Read some beautiful bug folklore stories from around the planet, too. Sadly, many insects are under threat, so the Ladybird guide will be an ideal character to sound the alarm about pollution and climate change, and encourage children to care about all creepy crawlies.
