Brilliant book on the brilliant bugs!
By Oliver Thompson (10 January, 2025 )

Claire’s stunning illustrations also featured in the Magic and mystery of trees are so much fun. I use this book both as a reference and a picture book, and it’s been a fantastic resource for homeschooling. The book explores a bug family tree and into various insect categories, and explains where bugs live their roles and how they benefit the environment. It’s perfect for kids from pre-K to first grade and beyond.
