Bugs: A Stunning Pop-Up Look at Insects, Spiders, and Other Creepy-Crawlies

12 pp. | Candlewick | October, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-6762-7 $19.99
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Jim Kay. Decidedly pro-bug ("the world would be a terrible place without them"), this particularly intricate (and delicate) pop-up book features impressive design and engineering. With finely detailed backgrounds, each of the five double-page spreads treats a subtopic like "Where Bugs Live" with a large central pop-up bug; numerous foldouts, sliders, etc.; precise drawings; and uncondescending text (some in handwritten-looking cursive font).
