This book is an excellent introduction to the body parts of an insect for pre-schoolers and Pre-K. It describes what each part is used for. It does a good good of compare and contrast with other creatures (people, lobsters!) and ends with habitat which is great since most of the action (building the insect) takes place at a table. The illustrations are fantastic, lively and fun!

If you wanted to build an insect, where would you start? This picture book will teach you all that you need to know! Readers will learn the main body part of insects, but also some lesser know details, such as how many eyes they have and how they hear the world around them. This is a great addition to both home and classroom libraries. #HowtoBuildanInsect

I am not a big fan of bugs, but the illustrations in this book were even delightful to me! A very informative book doling out information in a fun way to children, readers will learn a lot about insect anatomy!

Loved everything about this book! This is for sure something i would have in my classroom and in my personal library. Very well put together and could easily be used as a lesson plan across all subjects.

This book has the best colorful pictures throughout. A boy in his garage goes through all the different parts of an insect when he begins to make one. He even takes the time to decorate them. He talks about all the different parts and what each insect does. I would use this in the classroom when learning about insects. I also think that this would be a good book to have at home to draw insects and learn about them.

This is a perfect book for my boys or your adventurous girls basically this is a fun book for everyone! It’s a great way to learn the anatomy of a bug & it’ll inspire you’re Littles to create their own creepy crawlers! The illustrations are modern & fun & keeps you flipping pages!

I really enjoyed this book. It gives an excellent introduction to the body and features of an insect and compares these with the human body to aid understanding. I also liked the information about why certain features made something not an insect, for example spiders/numbers of legs. I possibly would have liked to see more examples of different insects' body parts on each page too but again, this could take away from the simplicity of the book as an introduction to the topic. All in all, a great book with lovely illustrations and a nice activity at the end too.

This is a very well designed, informative book about insects, focusing on introducing an insect’s body parts. A hands-on activity at the end of the book encourages readers to build their own insect. This book is a wonderful introduction to learning about insects.

Really great intro book about insects. I think this would be a great book to read to kids or have a kid read to themselves and also build their own insect. It does a great job of comparing the anatomy of insects with that of a human so the reader can more easily relate to insects.

This is such a cool science picture book! It gives tons of information about insects in a really fun way. There are instructions and a materials list in the back of the book so you can build your own insect as you read. Each page turn has you add a new body part. The illustrations are beautiful and full of detail. The end of the book has even more information about each body part and a glossary of definitions for the body part names. Even if you do not build your own insect, the book is a delight to read and would be an awesome homeschool resource.
