Editorial Reviews

"The Backyard Bug Book for Kids is an adorable look at the amazing creatures that can be found when children are exploring in their own backyards. It is very refreshing to see a children's book that portrays the incredible world of insects in a scientifically accurate manner while still captivating the young reader. Lauren Davidson is a true ambassador for the entomology education industry!"—Kurtis Herperger, Gardens Manager, Victoria Butterfly Gardens and Director, International Association of Butterfly Exhibitors and Suppliers

"Lauren Davidson tells the story of the monarch butterfly in a kid-friendly and scientifically accurate way that includes facts about not just monarch butterflies, but all sorts of other insects! A little entomologist can learn about all sorts of insects and arthropods with this story of a caterpillar growing up and becoming a butterfly."—Kathryn Hokamp, Lepidopterist

"The Backyard Bug Book for Kids does a fabulous job of exploring the amazing world of insects through the curious eyes of a child, while teaching important scientific facts. The activities in the back are such a fun way for kids to practice what they've learned! If your kiddo is into bugs, you have to pick this one up!"—Erin Mills, Entomologist & Director of the Cockrell Butterfly Center at the Houston Museum of Natural Science

"As a Biologist working with bugs today in San Francisco, I see fewer children engaging with nature outside. The Backyard Bug Book for Kids reminds me of the books I used to read with vivid images of real bugs I could find right outside our home. This book is perfect for inspiring young naturalists and explorers curious about the world of bugs!"—Tim Wong, Entomologist at the California Academy of Sciences
