Amazing details
I wish I could give this more stars. My 3 yr old loves it and there are soooo many pop up and folding pieces and slide out pieces, a month later I’m still finding new things.

Fantastic! used pop up bugs book
My child absolutely loves this book, the first thing he did was sit down and start going thru the pages. It was a used book but looks brand new! I definitely didn't go wrong in ordering the used selection! I got what I wanted, my child is happy and i saved money and nobody can look at it and tell the difference between new and used!

Excellent and extremely informative!
Amazing book for anyone who loves bugs! My 7 yr old son wants to be an entomologist when he grows up, and is fascinated with all things "bug". I purchased this for him, and have found it interested to browse myself! There are TONS of pop out windows and pop up bugs, and loads of little doors that open to reveal pictures and facts, and other doors that lead to pull outs that then further open into lots of little accordion pieces, which make different shapes (like one that forms a circle showing the life cycle of an insect), etc. My son loves it and is completely absorbed in reading whenever he picks it up! Lots of great pictures, information, well laid out, etc. Even the adults are learning! For example, did you know that there is such a thing as a cobalt blue tarantula? We didn't! The colour on them is breathtaking! The only thing that I would caution potential buyers would be that the pop up insects are VERY delicate and fragile, and easily torn. I would NOT recommend it for a small child, or any child who would not be careful and turn pages and pull tabs VERY gingerly!! Otherwise, it would be too easily ruined. Other than that, I highly recommend!!

Well done
I spent a few years in my late twenties enthralled with entomology and still retain a healthy fascination with Insects. That is probably why the fact that this book is called "Bugs" and that insects are commonly referred to as "bugs" in the book irritates me somewhat. The term bugs actually refers to an Order of insects designated Hemiptera rather than the entire Class itself. Now that I am done tooting my geek horn, the review can continue... I also have a fascination with pop-up books, and once you've seen a few Sabuda and Reinhart's it tends to leave your expectations high. I am not saying there aren't really well done pop-ups in this book(there are). And a couple in particular are really grand, but I didn't have my face blown off at every turn like in the works of the other papercraft masters. But this book is great with its layout and design, and for having a small number of pages it packs in a lot of excellent information. It covers various Classes of Arthropods, goes into anatomy and physiology as well as ecology. The illustrations are quite competent and there are many flaps to be opened, revealing more information. There is also a pull tab, and one pop-up of a cockroach whose layers can be pulled away revealing internal organs. What a treat! This is all presented with the purpose of educating those far younger than I, but I still enjoyed the book. I would definitely recommend it to those with children interested in Insects and other Arthropods, and to adults who are into pop-ups and the source materiel. I , having a fairly decent general knowledge of the subject, still learned a couple of things. It's always nice to see the Insect world get any sort of love in the mainstream. I just wish there would have been a Robber Fly or two.

The most detailed pop up book we have ever owned! Lots of information - our 5 year old loves it (and so do we!!).

It’s a amazing book. There is a big spider on the cover, made me think there would be lots of info about spiders inside the book but there is just a tiny spider inside the book, a bit disappointed.
