review 1: I'll be the first to admit that I'm not particularly found of insects, but I am fond of books by Steve Jenkins. His cut paper collage never ceases to amaze me in it's detail and beauty. And when you add his skill to a topic as fascinating and diverse as that of beetles you end up with a book that it is easy to pore over looking at every detail. Jenkins does a nice job of picking out some of the most interesting of the more than 300,000 different types of beetles in the world and highlighting the features that make them similar and yet very different. This is a book that young insect lovers are bound to devour and then devour again just to look at all the details.
review 2: The Beetle Book by Steve Jenkins- Brilliant book, front to back, even from a very an... moreti-bug person. I found this book quite readable, just like all of Steve Jenkins’ books. My son thought the book was absolutely fantastic. Really fascinating facts about poisons, body parts, and so much more… I recently read and reviewed Steve Jenkins other newer book – The Animal Book by Steve Jenkins which mentioned The Beetle Book and teased with a few illustrations… Hope other school libraries have this in their insect collection! I’m happy that our missing link was included. less
