From School Library Journal

Grade 1-3-This well-written and informative book introduces budding entomologists to the world of insects and bugs. Rockwell offers basic factual information in an interesting, easy-to-read format. Common insects are introduced, and the main differences between insects and spiders are explained as well as what makes a bug a bug. The collage illustrations are beautifully rendered with layered colored papers of a variety of textures that add both depth and details to the creatures. The honeybee looks extremely lifelike with a fuzzy body and legs, and the illustration of a multihued birdwing butterfly accurately and attractively shows it sucking nectar from a flower. An index identifies the types of insects and other bugs that are found in the book, and some projects are suggested for those interested in learning more about insects. A strong title for both school and public libraries.

From Booklist

Ages 5-8. OK, so a bug is a bug is a bug. Well, not according to this entry in the Let's-Read-and-Find-Out-Science series. Children will learn what makes a bug a bug and a beetle a beetle, and why butterflies and water striders are considered insects but spiders, daddy longlegs, and ladybugs aren't. The spare, carefully written text makes the distinction between insects and bugs quite clear, and the paper-cut illustrations don't overwhelm with tiny details. Young naturalists will also get some well-illustrated instruction on how to examine their own backyard insects and determine what they have found. The "Find Out More about Insects" section at the back offers other ideas--among them, making an insect calendar and planting a garden to attract butterflies. A key to the creatures in the illustrations (none of which are labeled) is appended, but there's still going to be some guesswork for younger children when several different insects appear on a spread.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Book for Introducing Insects to the Younger Set

D.B.R. · April 7, 2017

I bought "Bugs are Insects" for my grandson in the hopes that it will expand his view of the creepy-crawly realm. As a retired research and teaching entomologist I am well aware of the importance of insects. Since Anne Rockwell's book was recommended to me as the best book on insects to give to a four year old and I confirmed this when I received it, I am very hopeful that this will-written booklet will do the job. The short text and well-done color pictures should fascinate any starting reader. I recommend it highly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific Bug Books

I love this let's read and find out science series. I purchased this book for use with a science unit on living things for level 1 students (Ages 3-6). The book exceeded my expectations. The illustrations are fantastic. I am now looking for more books illustrated by Steve Jenkins--very impressive. Not only is the book great for science, I also use it for math, reading, and language arts. The author also lists several learning activities at the end of the book and she provides curriculum support websites for extention activities.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have for elementary science teachers

C.C. · April 5, 2007

I am a preschool science teacher and I have found this book to be incredibly helpful when we were learning about how living things are classified. When learning about invertebrates, this is the book to have! The language is age appropriate and the illustrations are excellent. My preschoolers love this book! They walk away with a lot of information that is easy to remember.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun and interesting book!

D.T. · June 30, 2021

As a parent I learned so much about bug and insects reading this book to my son. I learned how many body parts an insect has (three, the head, thorax, and abdomen), how many legs it has (six), that ladybugs are an insect closely related to the beetle family, and that scorpions are arachnids. This book as been perfect for my 4 year old son!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Nice Addition to a Science Collection

S.A.G. · May 21, 2009

This is a science picture book about different kinds of insects and their characteristics. Targeted for the preschool-kindergarten age, it introduces basic concepts to differentiate insects, bugs, arachnids, and other kinds of creatures. The artwork is unusual for a science book in that it is collage art rather than drawings or photographs; but it is colorful and interesting, a nice addition to any bug-loving child's library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great bugs book for early years
