We didnt find this book helpful, fun or informative This is not what we expected. I thought they could have at least printed actual photos of the insects not just hand drawn black and white pictures. I also was surprised that there were not many insects listed and that some very common ones, at least for New England, were not in there at all. We waited a very long time for this book to arrive and were very disappointed when it did.
My cousin loved it! My cousin is a bugaholic and loved this book. It definitely came in handy especially during the summer. Kudos to the author for writing a knowledgeable and readable book for my 9-year-old cousin!
My Kid Loved It Very good book about bugs that kids can keep. My son loved it and before the week was out was going around looking a bugs and telling me what they were. It's a great text for kids of reading age who want to know more about bugs and how to keep them alive so that they can study them.
Another Natural Wonder Who would have thought the bugs would make such great pets ? Pet bugs is an original and exciting book to introduce children and adults to the wonderful world of bugs.
Pet Bugs is a unique book of it's kind as there isn't much books around on keeping insects, after all who wants to keep a slimy bug? But this book is different. It shatters the image of "slimy bugs" and introduces these creatures as ideal pets.
Pet Bugs is a well organised and a highly detailed book. The book is divided into different chapters, and each chapter specialises in a specific kind of bug- for example butterflies. Each chapter talks about three or four bugs you can keep, with information on how to catch the bugs, where to find the bugs, how to house the creature and feed them. Information on each bug is also provided, which is easy to understand.
This is an excellent book however, if photographs where included, it could have been better.
Overall this book is for any pet lover or budding naturalist alike.
Pet Bugs saves many lives Pet Bugs is going to save the lives of many innocent bugs, at least in our house. It tells you how to care for them, what to feed them, and what to watch for when you're interested in learning from them. My five year old and I love the information in this book--and so will the bugs that have an improved chance at life in captivity.
