I absolutely loved this book. Such a great way for kids and adults to learn all about insects. I liked how they separated the bugs into different categories and were able to cover so many different bugs. The illustrations were so colourful, fun, and detailed. I know my kids will love it.
Thank you NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

This is a unique and fact filled little science book perfect for schools or home.
I found a couple of things unique: first, even though the book was also very factual, there were also some stories and myths that showed how people look at the natural world to explain it; second, I found the format unique. There was a section on loud bugs, for instance, and other sections that help the reader look at distinct features of different kinds of bugs. In the end, kids can read a discussion on how necessary bugs are to the world, and they can even do activities to help ladybugs. Who doesn't want to help ladybugs?
Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this

Thank you for the advanced copy of The Secret Life of Bugs,

Wow, this is a wonderful book filled with so many amazing facts about insects. I love that we had Luna the Ladybug as our guide throughout the book. That is such a sweet touch that we have a insect teacher guiding the way. I wrote down so many facts about bugs that I did not even know about and my science teacher heart was busting throughout the book with all the illustrations and diagrams that were labeled along the way. Not only was there great scientific facts, but I love that a legend was included that told us how butterflies got their colors. I think this is great for cross curricular studies in the classroom/library. This will definitely be added to my shelf at school and home. I have a toddler that loves bugs!

Wow! I thought I knew a lot about bugs (homeschooling mom of boys) but I learned so much! Luna the ladybug gives neat facts, sometimes a world tour, and even connects some poetry as she teaches you all about insects! The artwork is beautiful and descriptive. This is a book to keep and re-read!

Thanks netgalley and Moira Butterfield for a great book to educate kiddos in a dynamic and engaging way.

The Secret Life of Bugs turned out to be an absolute gem for our bug-loving family! Our three children, aged 6, 8, and 10, were completely captivated by the vibrant illustrations and fascinating facts packed into this delightful book.

The engaging storytelling took us on an exciting journey into the tiny world of bugs, making each page an adventure. The authors skillfully combined educational content with a sense of wonder, making it perfect for a wide age range. Our youngest was enchanted by the colorful pictures and easy-to-understand descriptions, while our older kids appreciated the in-depth information about different bug species.

One of the highlights was the creative layout and design of the book. The pages were filled with eye-catching visuals, from detailed illustrations to fun charts and diagrams. The pop-ups and interactive elements added an extra layer of excitement, making the learning experience both entertaining and educational.

As parents, we appreciated the book's ability to balance entertainment and learning seamlessly. It sparked countless discussions and even inspired a backyard bug-hunting expedition. The kids couldn't stop talking about their favorite bugs, and they proudly shared newfound knowledge with friends and family.

"The Secret Life of Bugs" has become a staple in our bedtime reading routine, with each child eagerly taking turns choosing their favorite pages. It has not only fostered a love for nature but also encouraged curiosity and a deeper appreciation for the incredible world of bugs.

In conclusion, "Bug Buddies" is a must-have for any young bug enthusiast's library. It has left a lasting impression on our family, creating memories filled with excitement, laughter, and a newfound love for the tiny creatures that share our world. We highly recommend it to families looking for an educational and entertaining journey into the fascinating realm of bugs!

I received an advanced copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
Join Ladybug on a fantastic journey to meet other bugs of the world. From all sorts of ants to butterflies galore, ladybug knows her stuff. The facts and tidbits are fascinating; I learned things I didn't know before. The short and very informative picture book is enchanting as well as educational. I had fun looking at all the different types of bugs there are and learned about some I didn't even know.

This is a cute and informative book on bugs. Shoutout to the page about moths! I especially like the way that none of the bugs are treated as weird or gross, but just as creature to be learned about.

I really liked how this book gave factual information but also included fables and folklore about bugs as fun little stories woven throughout. The set up of the information was nice and well organized. I really liked the realistic illustrations. This was a fun and informational book! A great read for someone researching bugs or wanting more information about the insect world.

I think this would be a perfect gift for any child with an interest in insects - especially since so much of life wants to take away that inherent interest in them. I myself love insects of all kinds, and this would have been a great gift if I were a child again. The art in this book is cute and engaging, and the information is fun and easy to understand - without talking down to the audience.

I would have loved this book as a child, and would encourage it for any child with an interest in insects - or even one without one to foster one!

Thank you to the author, Netgalley, and Happy Yak for providing this e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

i was surprised how much information is packed into this book! it’s all very easily digestible but not dumbed down at all, & v interesting. there was lots of things i didn’t even know! i would’ve loved this book when i was a child <3 the artwork is all very lovely & very colourful too

This is a wonderful book to teach children about bugs. Luna the Ladybug was an adorable guide on this journey. I enjoyed the little stories that were mixed in with the facts about the different bugs. I loved the illustration, they were a great addition to the writing. A great addition for any library.

I'm not much of a bug person, but I know I would've loved this book as a kid. I found it so interesting and will definitely be getting a copy for my niece.

The Secret Life of Bugs is a wonderfully illustrated book. This book has all the information about bugs and insects accompanied by vibrant and beautiful pictures. I really loved reading this book. I'll definitely recommend this book.

This is a beautiful book that incorporates fascinating information in a child-appropriate manner, but I lament its paucity of sources!

This book was so beautiful! As the name suggests this book is all about bugs, an informative book for younger children. I wish I had gotten to read this kind of book when I was a child. Each page is filled with vibrant and colorful illustrations. Really such a beautiful book.

This is a fun book which looks so colourful and magical showing us the wonderful world of bugs!

The book gives information in a very crisp and playful way suitable for the reading age group regarding some very common bugs we see everyday.

It gives a glimpse of their homes and how they survive in their habitats. The book also encourages kids to take care about these bugs; how bugs are of different types and sizes. The information has been given in a very fun, short storyline which is always a great idea when it comes to such books on educating the kids about nature and its inhabitants.

Such a good one! The artist is so talented!

Thank you, Frances Lincoln Children’s Books, for the advance reading copy.

My son absolutely loved this book! It was engaging and interesting but also educational. The illustrations throughout were beautiful, it was a really lovely experience reading this with my son.
