Description
About the book. The Bugs Book brings readers close to the world of small creatures with close-up photographs, illustrations and facts about species from across the globe. The book is written by Nancy Dickmann, with illustrations by Daniel Limon. Lonely Planet Kids brings together insects, arachnids and millipedes in a 160-page hardcover non-fiction book.
Content. The species entries cover details such as size, habitat and diet. The journey takes readers through North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Oceania, with a look at the creatures found in Antarctica. Butterflies, beetles, wasps, scorpions, ants and large spiders provide plenty of different forms to compare. The sample pages shown include the table of contents, an introduction to small creatures, and a spread on a large bird-eating spider.
Who is this book suitable for? For children who enjoy studying nature’s small details and want to learn more about animals that crawl, fly or hide between leaves. The macro photographs make it possible to see features that are hard to spot outdoors. The book was published in 2025 and has English text. It can be read together with an adult and used as a starting point for further interest in animals and their habitats.
Read together and discover more. Read together with an adult who can explain the English words, and let the child choose a topic to learn more about. Feel free to pause at an image or question that sparks interest, and talk about what you notice. A short reading session can be enough; the book can be opened again when curiosity leads you on to the next topic. Try comparing what you read with other books or a map, so new information gains a wider context. Let the child point out a detail they have discovered, and use it as the start of a conversation in Norwegian. It is easy to return to favourite pages and find something you missed the first time around. Alternate between reading aloud and studying the illustrations, so that text and images can complement each other along the way.
