Product Description:
This Level 2 book is appropriate for children who are beginning to read alone. Longer sentences and an expanded vocabulary make this series of 48--page books slightly more challenging: Level 2 is appropriate for children who have started to read but still need help. Information boxes full of background information will stimulate inquisitive minds. These books contain between 700 and 850 words, and they are approximately 70 percent pictures and 30 percent text. The Dorling Kindersley Readers combine an enticing visual layout with high--interest, easy--to--read stories to captivate and delight young bookworms who are just getting started. Written by leading children's authors and compiled in consultation with literacy experts, these engaging books build reader confidence along with a lifelong appreciation for nonfiction, classic stories, and biographies. There is a DK Reader to interest every child at every level, from preschool to grade 4.

- fun book for bug lovers
I bought this book for my son for his 6th birthday. He loves it. The photographs are great and it is very informative. Great for young science lovers.

- Two boys' review: Bedtime bug book fascinates young boys
Gross? Yes. Icky? Yes.

In fact, this is the most vivid collection of bugs I've seen since I was enrolled in a natural science class. I wouldn't recommend reading this before or after dinner.

However, the book is attracts my two young boys like moths to a porch light. They ask me all sorts of questions as to why one bug eats another or why a bug captures prey as a host for their eggs.

Yep, I told you it was gross.

If you have a young boy (or girl) who really like bugs, this is their book. Otherwise, look for some of the animal collections from the DK Readers collection or pick up a Berenstain Bears book. I've got Amazon reviews and Listmania lists of lots of other kids' books.

We also have DK Readers books on snakes, spiders and micro monsters (bacteria and other tiny creatures).

In summary, the DK Readers books are a great way to introduce ... Read More

- I'm a big fan of the DK readers.
They're simply written non-fiction books. Most non-fiction books are written for older kids, or for younger kids only as read-alouds. A series of *factual* books that early readers can read to themselves?

Brilliant.

Not every kid wants fairies and talking dinosaurs all the time. Sometimes, they really just want plain facts.

I really like these books.

I do have one minor problem with them, and that is that the text is really not laid out in the best way for this stage of reader. It can be a little distracting, jumping from section to section, and the text-boxes aren't any help - the information they contain should really be integrated into the main text instead.

- VERY Fascinating book!
This is just a great book! Moms and dads will be just as interested in learning about these bugs as the young ones are. Hearing the word, "cool" when learning about science, etc., is quite nice and this book does that job very well. It's pretty neat seeing the praying mantis eat a fly, the dragonfly that was rotted into a rock, and all about the thorn bugs. Great reading for young ones, not too difficult but the little captions everywhere might make it confusing for those readers not quite sure of themselves. For that reason, might suggest a little older age just for the understanding of it. Probably 7, more towards 8. At any rate, it's loved greatly in this house! Highly, highly recommend!
