Part of the "Comparing Bugs" series, Bug Food examines what the variety of food bugs eat. Color photographs and very basic text makes this book (series) appropriate for the very young reader. A nice variety of bugs is included. Life size photos of some bugs are included at the conclusion of the book. –Omaha Public Schools 1/5/2011

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.

Photography is central to Heinemann’s books for preschool readers, and the marvelous extreme close-ups that fill the Comparing Bugs series do not disappoint. Using a classic picture-on-top, text-on-the-bottom format, each title begins with a "Meet the Bugs" chapter before examining the insects’ fascinating (and rather icky) habits. Bug Babies dares to ask: Is there anything cuter than insect babies? Actually, everything is cuter. Gelatinous balls, honeycomb-like bunches, and the white pellets of eggs are shown in all their grody glory. Some babies, it is pointed out, look like their parents, while others (like the ladybug) resemble entirely different animals. For awhile, Bug Food peacefully observes the acrobatic leaf-munching of ants and caterpillars, and then we get to the chapter entitled "Blood and Poo." Possibly the most surprising photo in the series is of a mouse being eaten by a huge centipede. Spiders’ tunnel-shaped webs and termites’ mud towers make Bug Homes a bit of a revelation. Nowhere is the photography more impressive than in Bugs on the Move, where flea jumps, grasshopper hops, and beetle scampers are caught midact. That these fascinating creatures aren’t always named is a bit of a disappointment, but still, this will elicit plenty of wows. And yucks. –Daniel Kraus Booklist June 2010

Bugs – bugs – bugs and what they eat. The photos are striking! This is not a book I wanted to open. Yck. But it turned out to be interesting and something I think students would want to know about. I liked it. –Sandy Wright, Vision Academy Richardson Independent School District May 2010
