Fun and Colorful Story About Bugs
A short and cute board book, ODD BUGS describes some of the interesting insects that scientists have discovered.
There are eight bugs mentioned in this book and each is given a two-page layout. Each layout includes a vivid illustration of the bug as well as a few words explaining what makes the bug odd. It’s a very simple board book, ideal for ages 2-4. The back of the book also includes additional information on each bug. That part might be too high for some of the readers of this book, but as they get older they can learn more about these weird insects.
Beautifully bright and illustrated, ODD BUGS illustrates the weirdness of some of the bugs found in nature.
