(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Briony Morrow-Cribbs. In this young readers' edition of Stewart's adult title, each "wicked" bug gets multi-page coverage including habitat, characteristics, dangers, and (often) an anecdote involving human encounters. There are no source notes and almost all the bibliographic resources are at least ten years old. Still, the lively guide will appeal to budding entomologists or kids who love the gross and scary. Websites. Bib., glos., ind.

(3) YA Illustrated by Briony Morrow-Cribbs. With Maria Dahvana Headley. These thirteen previously published stories and three new tales all feature "unnatural creatures along with several other creatures who are either unlikely, impossible, or do not exist at all." Each selection, by such writers as Nnedi Okorafor, Larry Niven, and Diana Wynne Jones, is introduced by Gaiman, and his chatty and enlightening anecdotes are worth the price of admission.
