Books in this series introduce readers to the exciting world of insects and arachnids. Each title uses simple text and vibrant photographs to introduce one important bug feature or behavior. In "Bug Senses," children learn about the different ways bugs sense the world around them, and the body parts they use to sense.
"Here is a series with a clear vision of its audience and agenda. Every aspect of the books is intended to aid classroom use, from the repetitive text against plentiful white space, to the list of activities for before and after reading and the word count and level indicator on the back cover. The color photographs support the text, particularly in On the Move. The focus on comparison means that there is no real overview of any of these bugs' lives. Each book finishes with an "Actual Size" comparison of three different bugs as well as a brief picture glossary. Unfortunately, the many different insects introduced through the course of the series are not always labeled. School Library JournalApril 2010"

"This series introduces young readers to the similarities and differences of bugs using large color photographs to enhance the text. Pre - and post - reading activities are suggested for parents and/or teachers to use with children. The visual appeal and repetitive text make this series an appropriate choice if your collection is lacking in primary books about insects. Glossary. Table of Contents. Index. Amy E. Parker, Director of Lower School Library Services, Second Baptist School, Houston, Texas Library Media Connection August/September 2010"
