4-6Kids' FAQs series.
This text carefully distinguishes insects and spiders, though true bugs aren't defined. The FAQ format promotes browsing; most questions seem natural ("How do crickets make that chirping sound?") and a few forced ("Why wouldn't we have chocolate if bugs disappeared?"). Colorful photos, most captioned, enrich the information. Reading list, websites.
