Bug Zoo

Nick Baker, DK, $12.99 (64p) ISBN 978-0-7566-6166-3
This guide to safely capturing and keeping bugs subtly encourages readers to take an interest in the fascinating world of insects, instead of being afraid of them. Starting with the tools of the trade—a paintbrush for "nudging caterpillars along," mist sprayer, and magnifying lens—each spread contains closeup photographs of creatures that range from wood lice and spiders to dragonflies and slugs. How to obtain, house, and care for particular bugs are explained in detail. With humor—"If you were to scale up your ladybug house, it would be like a cage of ferocious tigers"—and lots of facts about the down-and-dirty bug life, Baker provides enthusiastic guidance for nature lovers. Ages 5–8. (May)
