Picture Books About Bugs
Kids are so fascinated with bugs. There’s a natural curiosity to know what they do, how they live, and answer the question, “Will they hurt me?”
Perhaps that question only follows a bee sting, as it did my son. But, I figured a little caution paired with his curiosity wouldn’t be a bad thing. ?
On a sunny day, my kids can be found out in the backyard, adopting a roly-poly’s, making ant tunnels with sticks, or watching garden spiders catch their afternoon snack.
Science right at their fingertips.
To answer some of their questions and discover more, I compiled a list of picture books about bugs. Here are some of their favorites…
