Meet buzzing bumblebees, chirping crickets, and more awesome bugs that fly, hop, crawl, and creep in this colorful book for the very youngest explorers! Bursting with vivid photos, each spread in this sturdy book features a fascinating insect or spider, along with supersimple facts and lively, age-appropriate language to keep babies and toddlers--and their grown-ups--engaged. Designed to be the stepping-stone to the best-selling National Geographic Little Kids First Big Book series, the Little Kids First Board Book series takes similar subjects and distills them down to the simplest nonfiction concepts for the youngest audience. Not only will readers learn about a variety of insects, they can also find recurring shapes and patterns in the art. (Meanwhile, adults can be on the lookout for occasional funny commentary.) Sidebar text offers additional learning for older siblings or those ready for more complex information. With a square shape, bright and playful design, awesome photography, clear text, and cues to encourage interactive learning, the Little Kids First Board Books mirror the beloved First Big Books while taking a fresh new approach to excite a young one's sense of wonder and make learning about nature and science fun.
