Bugs: A Stunning Pop-up Look At Insects, Spiders, And Other Creepy-Crawlies Read Free Books and Download eBooks
A fascinating pop-up journey into the hidden world of insects, spiders, and other creepy-crawlies.Larger-than-life bugs spring from the pages, peek out from behind flaps, and hide under tabs, inviting young entomologists to marvel at the mind-boggling variety of arthropod life. What reader can resist a chance to look inside a cockroach’s body to see how it works or open a wasps’ nest to see what’s inside? Useful information (why does the world need bees?) and scientific trivia (which beetles are strongest and fastest?) pack every page, while exquisite art and dramatic pop-ups bring the world of bugs to teeming life.

I spent a few years in my late twenties enthralled with entomology and still retain a healthy fascination with Insects. That is probably why the fact that this book is called "Bugs" and that insects are commonly referred to as "bugs" in the book irritates me somewhat. The term bugs actually refers to an Order of insects designated Hemiptera rather than the entire Class itself. Now that I am done tooting my geek horn, the review can continue... I also have a fascination with pop-up books, and once you've seen a few Sabuda and Reinhart's it tends to leave your expectations high. I am not saying there aren't really well done pop ups in this book, there are, and a couple in particular are really grand, but I didn't have my face blown off at every turn like in the works of the two papercraft masters mentioned above. But this book is great with its layout and design and for having a small number of pages, it packs a lot of really good information in it. It covers various Classes of Arthropods, goes into anatomy and physiology as well as ecology. The illustrations are great and there are many flaps to be opened revealing more information. There is also a pull tab and one pop up of a cockroach whose layers can be pulled away revealing internal organs. What a treat! This is all presented with the purpose of educating those far younger than I, but I still enjoyed the book. I would definitely recommend it to those with children interested in Insects and other Arthropods, and to adults who are into pop-ups and the source materiel, I having a fairly decent general knowledge of the subject, still learned a couple of things. It's always nice to see the Insect world get any sort of love in the mainstream, I just wish there would have been a Robber Fly or two.
This was a holiday gift for three young boys to share. They loved it. It is a bit fragile as a pop-up book. I only recommend this somewhat expensive book for kids that will take care of it or kids with parents who will supervise its use. Otherwise I think it may get torn apart. The graphics are fun, and there are lots of tabs to pull for pop-up fun. Kids will learn a lot of good facts about insects from this book.
This is a non-fiction pop-up book about different types of bugs, how they work, how they live, and other cool stuff about them. It is not a story or a novel.Even though it is a pop-up book, I still learned a lot! It is a very grown up pop up with a lot of good information. I learned a lot in this book by checking out the little pop outs. Some of them pop out into 3D models, which I like very much because you can really see the creatures much better than you could in just a flat picture. I can even look inside some of the bugs.My favorite part of the book is the part on ultimate bugs, especially the ‘deadliest bug’ part about the fat tailed scorpion. The pop up on this was awesome! I also loved the perfect 3D illustration of a cockroach. I live in Florida and see lots of them, so I know the picture is very accurate.I don’t think this book would be good for very little kids. Even though it is a pop up, don’t let that fool you into thinking it is for babies. The book has a lot of writing, details, and hard words like ‘arthropods’ that are even hard for me to pronounce. Little kids would have a hard time reading it. That’s why I recommend this book for second graders and up for mostly boys, and girls if they are interested in bugs too.I would rate this book 5 stars because I really liked it, and I learned a lot about new bugs and bugs I should watch out for because I don’t want to get a deadly sting.Reviewed by Summer H., age 8, Tampa Bay Mensa
This is a stunning, beautifully created, intricate look at insects. The pop-ups are magic. The young person who recieved this book was fascinated - and I was, too.Because the pop-ups and illustrations are so intricate, this is not a book for young people who may be too young to appreciate the text and the delicate nature of these pop-ups, so choose accordingly. This may be a book to share together and put away between readings until the young person is older, or to buy now for a later time.
we love this book! bought it for my oldest son's 7th birthday, and it was the perfect book for his bug loving mind. the pop outs and images over all are very well done. realistic and still imaginative. my one year old has to be very careful, so we watch him closely. my 5 yr old daughter is fascinated by it too. i love that they get to look at bugs this up close and personal, while leaving the real wiggly ones outdoors.
I just love a great pop up book- this one is top notch. My grandkids (7,4,2) reach for it whenever they visit. It is sophisticated but so intriguing, they are mesmerized. The pop ups are big, detailed& impressive. It really is a book for older kids& adults, but the little kids love it too. It's a great way to explore this aspect of our world, the pages are crammed with detail, including flip doors, etc. very well done, I love it& it's as good as my other Reinhart & Sabuda books.
This is a wonderful kids book about bugs. The vibrant colors and pop-ups provide an absolutely real picture of the insect. There are also descriptions and little factoids along the way. My son (age 5) is not particularly interested in bugs, but I really love the book. I am holding on to it for the day when he finally decides bugs are cool!
