About the book
Discover a secret world thriving right under your feet! In this new book A FIRST BOOK OF BUGS, the follow-up to the popular A First Book of Dinosaurs, 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.
