What do you do when a bug's bugging you? They're scary, they're hairy They swoop, buzz, and hover. But most bugs are harmless. There's no need to take cover. Yes, some bugs are nasty, but most bugs... This description may be from another edition of this product.
The local librarian recommended this one after my daughter (age 2.5) was stung by a wasp. It really helped her to learn that not all bugs were "bad". I plan to buy this for my younger child now.
Buy this gorgeous book to introduce kids to the insect world

As a child, I always thought that dragonflies (we called them darning needles) stung, given their fearsome appearance. Now we live on a pond and I have learned to love and value these gentle creatures (gentle to us but not to mosquitoes!). Mary Bono's book is a wonderful way to open the door to a greater appreciation of insects for young children. The clever text, the friendly but not preachy message, the stunning illustrations - with scientifically accurate clay sculptures amidst simple and friendly line drawings: It all adds up to a must read. Our two three-year-olds just love this book and pore over the pictures. I am grateful we have such a beautiful way to introduce them to this vital part of our natural world. Make this book a treasured part of your kids collection.
A darling children's story

This is such a darling book. My three year old twin girls cannot get enough of it. I will read this story to them a good ten times a day, and never get tired of it. It's a great book to let kids know that bugs are not scary, they can be quite fun. My girls like to go outside and look for the bugs that are in this story. Fun rhyming!!! Great story!!!!
Get ready to read this one again and again...

Terrific book to read aloud, with bright, pretty colors and pictures, and of course, lots of bugs! My girls (age 3 and 1) love it, and make me read this several times a day! I like the rhyming story, and the respectful tone it has. A great book, whether you're a fan of bugs or not!
