Find out the real story about the bugs all around us. Creepy crawlies do so much for us! They make honey, eat waste, help make chocolate and more.
And in this wacky book, these helpful critters are taking you on a grand tour of their homes! They just can’t wait to tell you about all the good they do. They’ll show you the
special
skills
and
features
they have, explain why they’re so
important
to
the
ecosystem
, and generally make their case for why they deserve a little more credit.
You’ll meet:
flesh-eating
beetles
who may sound creepy but are just
misunderstood
. In fact, they help museum staff clean up old specimens, and out in the wild, they make sure the world’s forest floors aren’t littered with dead creatures, saving us from very gruesome woodland walks
midges
who are one of the only bugs able to pollinate cacao plants, and
without
whom
there
would
be
no
chocolate!
wax moth
caterpillars
—one of the
first
species
known
to be able to safely
digest
plastic
, who could hold the key to reducing this tough-to-break-down material
And many, many more!
Without
insects
like the ones in this book,
we
wouldn't
here
, but
they
are
disappearing
fast
. This book introduces young readers to a l
oveable
bunch
of
bugs
, encouraging a
new
generation
mini-beast
protectors
. Support your child’s learning and gently introduce them to environmental issues with this colorful and fun book that’s packed with fascinating facts.
