For a boy who loves bugs, what better way to spend a day than on a bug hunt through the backyard? From the spider in the tree to the bees buzzing around mom's flowers, there's plenty to see—and plenty to learn. Did you know that pill bugs have blue blood? How about the fact that they aren't true bugs? Neither are spiders and bees. But the fact that he can't find a true bug won't stop him from enjoying the insects he finds!

  • Simple, repetitive language

    Simple, repetitive language encourages word recognition and ease of reading in emergent readers.

  • Humor

    Kids will recognize and delight in the boy's silly antics as he moves from insect to insect, trying to act as they do.

  • Fun insect facts

    Each page comes with fun insect facts, perfect for any kid curious about bugs and insects, and the world around them!

  • Story Comprehension

    Reading is about more than just sounding out a word at a time. It's about being able to read full sentences and understand what they say together. And it's about being able to recall something read two or three sentences (or paragraphs or pages) before.

  • Letter Sounds

    Before kids can string words together, they first have to learn what sounds each letter makes. Drawing a correlation between those sounds and the sounds that appear in words is one of the first steps in reading.

  • Word Scramble

    Word scrambles are a great way for kids to figure out how words go together! Even better, by giving them visual context clues, you can help them along the way and strengthen their spelling skills.

A wonderful book - fun AND informative

My 7 year old son and I really enjoyed this book! It was perfect for his reading level and contained so many fun, interesting facts about what is and isn’t a true “bug”. I personally learned a lot and it prompted some great discussions in my household. A wonderful book!

Fun read - sparked curiosity!

I bought this book for my friend's kids who love bugs. What a great find! They loved learning that the insects they call bugs aren't true bugs (and even made me look up "true bugs" when we were done reading). The extra reading activies at the end were a huge hit, especially with the younger one, who is just learning to read.
