Murawski and Honovich have created a feast for the eyes of any bug lovers。 It is full of huge， magnified photos， informative facts attractively presented as captions， in highlighted text boxes， a glossary。 There’s a Q & A section with an entomologist， a comparison of bugs to spiders and a special section on “How you can help” the thousands of insect species in danger of extinction。 Bug reference books like this are a staple in my class that are highly sought after by my preschoolers。 This book w Murawski and Honovich have created a feast for the eyes of any bug lovers。 It is full of huge， magnified photos， informative facts attractively presented as captions， in highlighted text boxes， a glossary。 There’s a Q & A section with an entomologist， a comparison of bugs to spiders and a special section on “How you can help” the thousands of insect species in danger of extinction。 Bug reference books like this are a staple in my class that are highly sought after by my preschoolers。 This book would pair well with Bug Zoo， the beautifully illustrated story of Ben， a boy who， like many of the readers of the Ultimate Bugopedia， is fascinated by bugs。 He comes to the realization during the course of the story that if he keeps the bugs in jars they will experience an untimely death。 That’s not what he wants to do with these beloved creeping， crawling， flying things。 It’s a lesson I try to instill in my preschoolers。 Even among those who are crazy about bugs there are plenty with the instinct to squash them。 This book pairs well with the Ultimate Bugopedia。 Students learn that if you love something you should set it free。 The children’s exploration of these two books could be enhance using a KWL chart （Camp， 2000）。 Looking through Bug Zoo， the class could generate questions about the insects found in its pages by making a chart of what they know already and what they are curious about。 They could use the bug reference book to answer their questions。Camp， D。 （2010， February）。 It takes two: Teaching with twin texts of fact and fiction。 The Reading Teacher， 53（5）， 400-408。Harkness， A。 （2016）。 Bug Zoo。 New York， NY: Disney Hyperion 。。。more

My kids really enjoyed this。 It is a great book to add to your collection。 The macro photography is beautiful revealing the most intricate details of the small critters。 The book provides scientific names， classification， rank， etc。。 everything you'd expect to find in an encyclopedia。 What I loved is that Bugopedia worked great for my older ones as well as my younger ones。 My younger ones loved the pictures while my older one also received answers to his questions: What do beetles eat？ How bi My kids really enjoyed this。 It is a great book to add to your collection。 The macro photography is beautiful revealing the most intricate details of the small critters。 The book provides scientific names， classification， rank， etc。。 everything you'd expect to find in an encyclopedia。 What I loved is that Bugopedia worked great for my older ones as well as my younger ones。 My younger ones loved the pictures while my older one also received answers to his questions: What do beetles eat？ How big do they get？ 。。。more

Murawski， D。， & Honovich， N。 （2013）。 National Geographic kids ultimate bugopedia: The most complete bug reference ever。 Washington， D。C: National Geographic。Citation by: Sarah TylerType of Reference: EncyclopediaCall Number: 595。703 M9729n 2013Content/Scope: This encyclopedia is aptly called the most complete bug reference ever， since it contains more than eighty two-page profiles of individual insects， over four hundred color photographs， including ten photo galleries。 It has twenty-two article Murawski， D。， & Honovich， N。 （2013）。 National Geographic kids ultimate bugopedia: The most complete bug reference ever。 Washington， D。C: National Geographic。Citation by: Sarah TylerType of Reference: EncyclopediaCall Number: 595。703 M9729n 2013Content/Scope: This encyclopedia is aptly called the most complete bug reference ever， since it contains more than eighty two-page profiles of individual insects， over four hundred color photographs， including ten photo galleries。 It has twenty-two articles dealing with various topics of interest to students， such as “Insects' Closest Relatives，” “Antennae，” and “False Faces。” Additional general information is included in the last section and features such articles as an interview of an entomologist and a discussion of how children can help insects in danger of becoming extinct; for each of the profiles， there is an introductory paragraph and seven specific facts: common name， scientific name， size， food for adults and larvae， presence or absence of wings， habitat， and geographic range。Accuracy/Authority/Bias: Founded in 1888， the National Geographic Society is one of the world’s largest non-profit scientific and educational organizations， according to a paragraph on the publisher on the back page; the authors provides attribution for all of the photographs used in the book on a full-page entry entitled “Photo Credits。” Eighteen individuals are listed on that page as having served in various capacities， such as “researcher and fact-checker，” “map research and production，” and “project editor;” users can trust the information to be accurate and authoritative， because of the publisher and staff。 The book also features introductions by entomologist Bill Lamp and one of the authors， which aids in the volume's credibility since both individuals have doctoral degrees。 Accuracy is assisted by the “Find Out More” section， which features a collection of websites， movies， and places to visit from around the world。 Bias is nonexistent， since the encyclopedia deals with insects from a variety of places。Arrangement/Presentation: The table of contents shows that this encyclopedia is arranged into four major sections and twenty subsections based on insect order。 The first section， “Discovering Bugs，” provides an overview to the world of entomology; the second section， “Simple Metamorphosis，” contains over thirty insect profiles and five photo galleries， while the third section， “Complete Metamorphosis，” contains over fifty insect profiles and four photo galleries。 The fourth section， “More About Bugs，” collects four general articles and one photo gallery。 Information is presented logically for the topic， since most students know insects undergo either simple or complete metamorphosis。 Profiles have an engaging balance of text and photographs， without overwhelming the user with either。Relation to Other Works: This encyclopedia replaces the collection's current holding of the 1988 A Child’s First Library of Learning: Insect World and the 2002 Bug Dictionary: An A to Z of Insects and Creepy Crawlies， since it provides more information than the two titles put together and is more up-to-date， having been published in 2013。Accessibility/Diversity: Recommended for students in second through sixth grade， this encyclopedia is accessible to various age groups through adult support。 In addition to the engaging title “Bugopeida，” the book relies heavily on vibrant， highly-detailed， full-color photographs which appeal to younger elementary students， reluctant readers， special education students， and students whose first language is not English。 Everyone will enjoy the ten photo galleries， which include insects from around the world， as well as the general articles on insects and the ecosystem。 Gifted and talented students will appreciate the global “Find Out More” section。 The index， which has illustrations depicted by page numbers in boldface， is useful to students needing information in a specific insect order。 The glossary will aid students in understanding the scientific terminology used through the text and will support students’ English acquisition， since words such as “measurement” and “iridescent” are included within the context of insects。Cost: $24。95Professional Review: Meade， R。 （2014）。 Ultimate bugopedia: The most complete bug reference ever。 School Library Journal， 60（4）， 181。 。。。more

This is quite a scientific/detailed book。 It was a bit much for the 2， 3， and 4 year old。 They liked the pictures and had a lot of good questions。 Hopefully they will pick it up again in about 5 years！
