Description



About the Book



"James Carter loves bugs. He has written many poems about them, and now here is a whole book devoted to bugs and minibeasts. Buzzing with energy and fun, it celebrates them in all their glorious bugliness-grasshoppers, moths, ladybugs, dung beetles, flies, wasps, even bedbugs get a look in, and finishes with the extraordinary tardigrades who can live in outer space. Many are shape poems-Carter's speciality-some are riddles, and all are perfectly matched by Neal Layton's fantastic color illustrations."--
