Description

Superpowers aren't just for the movies! Take a closer look at the extraordinary abilities of 20 different bugs and discover how humans have harnessed them for our own technologies and inventions.

What can freeze solid and come back to life? Glow in the dark? Grow their own armor? If you think these superpowers only exist in comic books and action movies, then think again! The real world is filled with bugs that have amazing abilities. In this fascinating book, readers ages 8-12 will learn about these incredible bug powers and more, including how bugs have directly inspired human inventions, such as tough armor, tiny drones and robots, and heatless lights.

Written by a real entomologist, Bug Power features:
  • 20 bugs and their superpowers
  • Fascinating photos and comic-style illustrations of the bug in action
  • Zoomed-in diagrams of the mechanisms behind bugs' amazing abilities

Bug Power is the perfect read for any reader who loves superheroes and/or bugs. Each section is broken down by superpower and then we see the bug or bugs that have a similar power. My seven-year-old loves it and asks to read it often. This would make a great addition to any collection serving readers in first through fourth grade and especially those looking to add engaging, suspenseful, and accessible non-fiction into their collection. Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC! Five stars!
