There's still a part of me that wants to be an entomologist. I've never lost my love of bugs since I was 10 years old. Apparently Elise Gravel hasn't either! Her adorable bug pictures accompany facts and interesting information about the most populous creatures on earth.
We are fans of Owen Davey's artwork and these colorful, informative books from Flying Eye Books. There's something Charlie Harper-ish about the pictures and designs that I just absolutely love. So far we just have this one about octopuses (when you build up your library mostly at second hand shops it can take a long time and luck to find specific books!) but we want to add more!
How about a Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science Book from 1963....
Another fabulously illustrated book by Rachel Ignotofsky. We absolutely love her other science books. This one is all about moths and butterflies, their differences, their life cycles, their defense mechanisms, etc. All accompanied by thrilling artwork displaying the shapes and colors seen in nature (and a few friendly smiling faces as well!)
