BOING! A Bouncy Book of Bugs by James Carter

Bestselling poet James Carter and illustrator Neal Layton love bugs and minibeasts and here they celebrate them all – from grasshoppers, ladybirds and dung beetles to moths, flies, wasps – and even bedbugs. Including the extraordinary tardigrades who can live in outer space. With 24 poems, including shape poems, riddles, rhyming poems and free verse, plus amazing and informative facts about each bug or minibeast on every page, the world of insects is brought buzzing to life, matched by Neal Layton’s bugtiful colour illustrations.

"Exuberant, energetic and engaging, Boing not only offers a collection of twenty-four poems about insects, but plenty of fascinating facts as well..The poems are fun, sure to engage and be enjoyed!"
