review 1: Summary: Informational text presenting a variety of facts and figures on death, disease, and destruction...all due to insects!Review: Excellent collection of historical and cultural observations [and effects] of bugs on society and nature. Geared toward upper elementary students [grades 3+] and includes several reference aids such as table of contents, interesting notes [smartly labeled "Insect Asides" and "Pox Box"], index, website suggestions, footnotes, bibliography, glossary, etc. From the author of "Poop Happened." The only thing I wasn't too keen on was the monochromatic quality of the photographs and illustrations [all purple or green].
review 2: This fascinating page turner is sure to delight even the most reluctant middle-grade readers. Brimming with c... moreaptivating, meticulously-research information, it offers a humorous, punny, fast-paced overview of world history that highlights how diseases transmitted by humans influenced the outcome of wars, determined where civilizations developed, and shape the world we live in. Bugged: How Insects Changed the World is definitely one of my favorite books of the year. less
