Find out the real story about the bugs all around us. Creepy crawlies
do so much for us! They make honey, eat waste, help make chocolate and
more. And in this wacky book, these helpful critters are taking you
on a grand tour of their homes! They just can’t wait to tell you
about all the good they do. They’ll show you the special skills and
features they have, explain why they’re so important to the
ecosystem, and generally make their case for why they deserve a little
more credit. You’ll meet: the flesh-eating beetles who may
sound creepy but are just misunderstood. In fact, they help museum
staff clean up old specimens, and out in the wild, they make sure the
world’s forest floors aren’t littered with dead creatures, saving
us from very gruesome woodland walks the midges who are one of the
only bugs able to pollinate cacao plants, and without whom there would
be no chocolate! the wax moth caterpillars—one of the first species
known to be able to safely digest plastic, who could hold the key to
reducing this tough-to-break-down material And many, many more!
Without insects like the ones in this book, we wouldn't be here, but
they are disappearing fast. This book introduces young readers to a
loveable bunch of bugs, encouraging a new generation of mini-beast
protectors. Support your child’s learning and gently introduce them
to environmental issues with this colourful and fun book that’s
packed with fascinating facts.
