A Perfect Spot

by Isabelle Simler, Vineet Lal (Translator)

Overview

A ladybug needs a safe place to lay her eggs, but where can she find an open spot? Katydids flutter in the leaves, stick insects hide in the branches, and thorn bugs pop out from every available stem. Even those bright pink flowers are orchid mantises ready to strike! Will any of these creatures be the right neighbors for the ladybug’s eggs? 

Illustrated with lush, vibrant details, A Perfect Spot is a fascinating introduction to the diverse world of arthropods. Acclaimed creator Isabelle Simler presents a bug’s eye view of camouflage, metamorphosis, and other natural wonders.

Editorial Reviews

Booklist
“While the habitats of these creatures (from Malaysia to South America to Europe) make it unlikely they would ever be found together, the diverse selections are engaging.
