Insects - The Munchy Crunchy Bug Book (with an introduction by Sally Love of the Smithsonian Institution)

Publisher's Description

Fred Srnertz loves to eat bugs. Ever since he fell on his head as a baby, he has had terrible cravings for flies, grasshoppers, and roaches. One day while hunting in the swamp for a quick bug snack, Fred stumbles upon a bug that offers a whole new point of view on the insect world. Children will learn hundreds of facts about insects as they follow the munchy crunchy adventures of Fred and his beetle treat. With the co-operation of entomologist Sally Love of the Smithsonian Institute, Flying Rhinoceros has created a book that will help students enter the amazing world of Insects.
