| Summary |
Let Luna, a friendly ladybird, lead you through this beautiful first guide to bug life. Learn about bug habitats -- who lives where, from 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 magical creepy crawly folklore stories from around the planet, too. The ladybird has learnt much on her travels and will be a great guide for young readers, perhaps inspiring them to develop a lifelong love of bugs. Sadly, many insects are under threat, so the Ladybird guide will be an ideal character to teach children about pollution and climate change, and encourage them to care about all creepy crawlies. Sumptuous and detailed illustrations take 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. There's never been a better time to introduce your child to the beauty of every living thing, even the teeny tiny. |
