ABOUT THE BOOK

BUGS! dives into the weird, surprising and sometimes slightly creepy world of insects and other minibeasts. Why are moths often dull-coloured? How do spiders end up inside the bath? Are earthworms actually good for the garden?

Issue 19 combines photographs, illustrations and a lively question-and-answer format to explain everyday mysteries about creepy-crawlies. It makes learning about insects, spiders, worms and other minibeasts fun and interesting.

WHY WE LOVE IT
