Everything Bug: What Kids Really Want to Know about Bugs (Kids' FAQs)
Grade 3-5–A compendium of random information about insects and spiders presented in question-and-answer format. Clear, full-color photos provide close-up views of various species as well as an occasional glimpse at children interacting with them. From the first query ("Why wouldn't we have chocolate if bugs disappeared?") through the last ("…couldn't we do without the bugs that bug us the most?"), there is no organizing principle. Although the actual information is more than adequate and often interesting, its inaccessibility is a drawback for children seeking specific facts. The lack of an index exacerbates this problem. The volume relies on its design (which is adequate but not dazzling) to drive readers forward. Although not a useful book for reports, this is a fun treat for browsers.–Dona Ratterree, New York City Public SchoolsCopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
