BUGS: A Kaleidopops Book

A kaleidoscopic world of creepy-crawlies awaits! Discover the insect kingdom in all of its magnificent color inA Kaleidopops Book: Bugs. From the enormous shimmering wings of a blue morpho butterfly to the iridescent rainbow shield bug, junior entomologists will learn all about bugs: what they eat, where they live, and how color helps bugs hide from predators, attract mates, and find food. Five spectacular spreads feature 3-D lenticular pop-ups that fly off the pages and shimmer in the light, showcasing incredible insects and bejeweled bugs in their natural habitats. Every spread boasts beautiful full-color illustrations and fascinating facts about the world’s most populous species. This is definitely a book with lots of buzz!In this addition to the Kaleidopops series, iridescent insect pop-ups (which change color thanks to lenticular panels) are accompanied by brief, descriptive classifications of each species: a red darter dragonfly, “use(s)... speed and powerful eyesight to catch insects in midair!” An enormous, green praying mantis takes up a full page as it peers back at the reader with its “compound eyes.” The vibrant and shiny images (a jeweled frog beetle native to Southeast Asia shifts from green to blue) emphasize the alien beauty of the various creepy crawlies, with less of a focus on insect anatomy. Wild Animals also available.
