Rich, detailed photography pairs with engaging storybook-style descriptions, making this the eighth entry in DK's bestselling Children's Anthologies series. It's a gorgeous addition to any home or classroom library for curious kids who love beetles, bees, spiders, and every other creepy-crawly imaginable.

About the Book
This beautifully produced hardcover brings together more than 90 of the planet's most remarkable bugs in one richly illustrated volume. Dr. Jess French, a veterinarian, zoologist, and beloved children's author, guides readers through the hidden lives of insects and arachnids with the same warmth and curiosity she brings to her television and book work. Each spread pairs detailed photography with engaging, storybook-style text, covering everything from bees, beetles, and butterflies to stick insects and spiders. Special features explore metamorphosis, egg-laying, camouflage, and other adaptations that make the insect world so endlessly inventive. A comprehensive visual index at the back rounds out the book with quick-reference facts on the size, habitat, and range of every featured species, making it as useful for school projects as it is for bedtime browsing. The hardcover edition is finished with foil detailing on the cover, gilded page edges, and a ribbon marker, giving it the look and feel of a keepsake rather than an ordinary reference book. As the eighth title in DK's Children's Anthologies series, it follows the same successful formula that has made the collection a favorite with parents, teachers, and young naturalists alike. Whether a child is fascinated by backyard bugs or fascinated by exotic rainforest insects, this anthology offers something new to discover on every page, encouraging close observation, scientific curiosity, and a lifelong appreciation for the smallest creatures on Earth.
