Bugs is an accessible and informative nonfiction picture book about the daily lives of bugs. Entomologist Jessica L. Ware provides an hour-by-hour breakdown that features the activities of a variety of insects, including dragonflies, ants, comet moths and honeybees. Interspersed within the book's primary narrative are several double-page spreads highlighting specific types of bugs, such as "winged wonders," "super swimmers" and "hitchhikers." Ware's text presents information in a way that is both fun and digestible, and Chaaya Prabhat decorates each page with lively and colorful illustrations that aid readers in understanding key terms and concepts. Bugs is a great gift for a burgeoning entomologist or any young reader interested in the natural world. --Cade Williams, freelance reviewer and staff writer at the Harvard Independent
