Some have wings that shimmer bright… Some live deep in the earth, hidden from sight… Some have a venomous, deadly bite… It’s time to meet the BUGS! Discover a secret world thriving right underneath your feet. From beetles to butterflies, spiders to scorpions, meet the most bizarre and awe-inspiring bugs ever to walk the Earth! Author Simon Mole turns fascinating facts into poems full of humour and heart; Adam Ming’s illustrations are a riot of colour and energy, helping these extraordinary creatures to jump off the page. Here is the insect kingdom in all its glory – and here is a book that children will want to read over and over again.

Simon Mole is an acclaimed children’s writer, performer and National Poetry Day ambassador, with over ten years of experience using poetry with children and families.
