Bug Hotel (A Clover Robin Book of Nature)

Bug Hotel, a lift-the-flap book of discovery, is exactly that. Shaped as if it was a real hotel for bugs, children invited by the gentle colour scheme to look inside. The first section of the hotel is for bees and pulling flaps reveals interesting facts about their life cycles and reproduction. This is all explained with such entertainingly simple text, children won’t even know they’re learning.

The most extraordinary feature of this book is its variety. It is nigh-impossible to remember every species of bug, depicted or mentioned, after first reading. Some of the other bugs to stay at this hotel are ladybirds, stylishly red, creepy spiders, and monstrous stag beetles. Like all volumes in the A Clover Robin Book of Nature series, Bug Hotel is eye-catching, colourful, and durable.
