Delightful book  
This beautifully illustrated book introduces young children to the wonderful world of insects. I read it to my girls from a very young age and at age two they could identify pretty much every insect in there. They enjoy looking for bugs in their garden too. Children will enjoy the short descriptive text. The illustrations really make this book a delight.

Alphabet Fun!  
My son loves this book. We talk about the different bugs on each page - he thinks they're so cool. The letters are a bit of an afterthought for him at this point. But it provides him some exposure, in a fun way, without sticking flashcards in his face.

My son's favorite!  
We got this book for our four year old, bug obsessed son. He is thrilled with it, and we are so happy to have an ABC book that he'll actually pay attention to. The illustrations and bug facts are great, and I don't think our son realizes he's learning his letters. We also ordered the Butterfly ABC book (just for good measure), which is also wonderful.

my son loves it!  
I bought this book for my son for his 4th birthday (he helped pick it out) and it is one of his favorite books. He has had it less than 6 months and can tell you what every bug is and something about it. If you have a bug lover its a great book.

Great nonfiction book on insects and arachnids  
This book was fantastic. It had a great deal of interesting information about 26 different bugs. The text was still simple enough for children of all ages to enjoy. My preschoolers loved it!
