2006-12-05 Jack's favourite book

My grandson has been interested in bugs since he was tiny. I bought him this book (or rather, Father Christmas brought it) last year when he was 5. He absolutely loves it. It's supposed to be for children from 8 up but because of the way it's presented, with short explanations as well as more detailed information and great graphics, it has enabled him to develop his reading skills and learn an awful lot about the creatures he finds in the garden. Also, because it's a factual book, it may spend a week or two on the shelf untouched, but as soon as a bug is mentioned, out it comes again!

Well worth including in a child's book collection.
