review 1: This is a super aesthetically-pleasing book. Bright colors, neat proportions, fun (though simple) illustrations... there's a lot going on here. The featured illustrations of the bugs are actually grouped numbers, which is neat, although I wish the source of the featured number was more consistent. There are fun facts on every insect, which are nicely laid out on colored sections of the pages. I did learn some things about the various insects - there is substance here - but the star here is more the design than the bugs themselves.
review 2: Love the concept and execution of this one -- all except for the lack of source notes, as others have noted.Bugs are comprised of numbers -- the design and playfulness of the book is its strength. It has huge visual appe... moreal and fun and clever flaps to lift. The text is filled with humor and with fascinating information. Many bugs are depicted actual size, which is noted clearly in the text. For example there is a ruler at the bottom of the page featuring the walking stick, which also provides the length of a stick of gum, popsicle stick, chopsticks and a drumstick. less
