The insect world is a fascinating place. You may not think so. You may think insects are gross. Or scary. Or dangerous. But there’s so much more to insects than what meets the eye. Told through hilarious prose and packed full of jaw-dropping facts, Brenna Maloney’s first-person narrative presents the big picture on bugs. Insects play a critical role on our planet—as pollinators, garbage collectors, artistic muses, research partners, and even as “dinner.”

Varför surrar bin när de flyger runt? Har de inte lärt sig att arbeta i tystnad än? Ljudet som kommer från bin när de rör sig är deras små vingar som rör sig upp och ner för att kunna flyga.

En radiopjäs med musik och ljud för att fördjupa dig ännu mer i berättelsen.

Water bugs can grow to four inches long in South America. Kids will learn all about these fascinating creatures with this fabulous audiobook.
