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 Caldecott 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 vetted for accuracy by Dr. Ed Spevak, Curator of Invertebrates and Director of the Saint Louis Zoo's WildCare Institute Center for Native Pollinator Conservation.
