Critical Reviews
Merges superhero action with bug brilliance--a fascinating way to connect to the wonderful world of insects!--Maynard Okereke, author of Zombie Spiders and Asteroid Blasters
Bug Power amazes, fascinates, and inspires in ways the average 'bug book' does not. The artwork blends fictional comic book action with factual detail, and the text is equally dynamic. I would recommend this book to readers of any age.--Eric R. Eaton, author of Bugwatching
