Can you imagine a world without bees? Did you know that dung beetles are awesome recyclers? Insects pollinate, recycle and are an important food source for many animals – they’re tiny but mighty superheroes of the animal kingdom. This is an anthology of children’s poems which will educate and excite youngsters about the fascinating world of insects. With factual notes alongside the poems, and black line illustrations.

I liked it. My favourite poem was Questions for an entomologist. My favourite line from that poem was: Do Mayflies become Juneflies and then Julyflies?

I liked the poems. If you like insects and mini beasts then I really recommend this book. My favourite poems were Cabbage White and When a Ladybird gets Scared.

I liked this book because I learnt a lot about a astonishing amount of different species of insects that I have never seen or even heard of before.i liked the dung beetle the most because even though it has an ugly appearance it helps in making our planet clean .it interested me because I learnt a lot of insects superpowers like for instance, that the lady bug shoots stinky stuff from its knees when it's scared.i would definitely recommend this book to my friends .

My favourite poem is called ‘Our Planet’ by Susan Byrne. I like it because it is repetitive.
