Book Review: Ask a Bug"This book will thrill young bug lovers with its colorful illustrations and variety of information on many different types of bugs...The realistic, full-page illustrations enhance the detail provided by the text. Many of the questions are answered using numerical steps, making it easy for the reader to comprehend the information. Bug lovers will enjoy the huge variety of unusual insects that are mentioned...Instead of providing a list of Web sites for more information, the publisher provides a Web address that is maintained and updated regularly by them; a very smart thing to do since the Internet changes daily and any Web site published in the book could quickly become outdated. This book could be useful for providing information for a report or project, but will probably be most enjoyed by those who love to read about bugs and insects for entertainment...RECOMMENDED."
