Bug-obsessed kids are encouraged to explore their own backyards in this "marvelous encyclopedic look" (Publishers Weekly) at critters that creep, crawl, and fly. Each insect and arachnid is shown up close and described by its distinctive action: "Some bugs STING. Some bugs BITE. Some bugs STINK. And some bugs FIGHT!" Jaunty rhyming text keeps the pages turning at a steady clip right up to the surprise ending, which challenges readers to reconsider their perspective. Combining fascinating facts with eye-catching collage art, Some Bugs is sure to be a hit with fans of Steve Jenkins' many animal books. May 2014 Picture books newsletter
