Shrink to the size of a garden bug and enter the world of dragonflies in this first graphic novel for children.

This graphic novel of garden life, made in collaboration with the Royal Entomological Society, is a perfect introduction to dragonflies for bug-obsessed little ones aged 5-7.

Follow a newly hatched dragonfly as he learns to navigate pond life and meet plenty of fascinating bug characters along the way, in this first graphic novel. Narrated by a wise old grasshopper, offering tips and tricks on how to be a dragonfly and featuring laugh-out-loud moments, this tale of pond life is a perfect introduction to dragonflies for bug-obsessed kids.

This bug book for children offers:

  • A graphic novel format to engage children in nonfiction topics.
  • Content made in partnership with the Royal Entomological Society, providing scientific information about insects.
  • An engaging story about a newly hatched dragonfly as he learns how to navigate pond life.

Chase thinks he'll stay a nymph forever. And it's not a bad life, in the pond he calls home. He's mastered the art of jet propulsion, how many insects can say that? But still, it would be quite fun to be one of those big, shining blue and green dragonflies flying overhead, chasing one another and making daring escapes from birds. Learn all about his exciting life in How to be a Dragonfly.
