Bugs (Peek-through Nature)

Bugs by Patricia Hegarty, illustrated by Britta Teckentrup
 
Look closely beneath the leaves, between the flowers and down towards the ground. A busy miniature world is waiting, filled with insects and other little creatures as they live, grow and change throughout the seasons.
 
Patricia Hegarty’s gentle rhyming text introduces young readers to minibeast life, while Britta Teckentrup’s layered, luminous illustrations reward careful looking. Clever die-cut holes connect one scene to the next, revealing new creatures and changing details as the pages turn.
 
Beautiful enough to linger over and informative enough to inspire further discovery, this is a lovely starting point for garden exploration, seasonal learning and conversations about the wildlife living just outside our doors.
