"An attractive series for kids intrigued by animals in the wild." —Booklist
Set over a 24-hour period, meet busy honeybees, transforming caterpillars, and an army of leafcutter ants in this kids’ nonfiction book about the coolest insects on Earth.
Follow the lives of individual bugs as they fly, hunt, hide, and scuttle their way through their day. Bug expert Dr. Jessica L. Ware introduces characters from cicadas to butterflies in the style of a nature documentary, with a sprinkling of simple science explanations perfect for future zoologists. Witness incredible moments including:
• A dragonfly escaping a hungry frog
• A shield bug looking after her newly-hatched babies
• A gigantic comet moth with superpowered wings
Packed with animal facts, Bugs (A Day in the Life) is one of the first titles in an exciting new series of animal books from Neon Squid.
Also available: Big Cats, Sharks, Horses
A Macmillan Audio production from Neon Squid.
Dr. Jessica L. Ware is an insect expert who works at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. Her work focuses on how insects evolved over time—particularly dragonflies, damselflies, termites, cockroaches, and mantises! She is the current president of the Worldwide Dragonfly Association, and serves as Vice President of the Entomological Society of America. Dr. Ware has been awarded a presidential award from the US government for her work on insect evolution.
Neon Squid creates beautiful nonfiction books for inquisitive kids (and kids at heart). We believe the most amazing stories are real ones, so our books are for children who want to decipher ancient scrolls, orbit distant stars, and dive into the deepest oceans. Our books are a labor of love—written by experts, illustrated by the best artists around, and produced using the finest materials, including sustainably sourced paper. We hope that by reading them kids are encouraged to further explore the world around them.
