When one adult or child takes an interest in bugs, it's a good idea to have a book or two with lots of images AND text. Pictures are always interesting, even for people who are learning to read! And science books with lots to read are the kind one comes back to again and again, reading a little, finding new facts, or looking back for something remembered.
Here's a book like that for a family bookshelf! It's called Bugwatching: The Art, Joy, and Importance of Observing Insects. Written by Eric R. Eaton and illustrated by Samantha Gallagher, this book is intended to read a little at a time instead of all at once.
I think it would go well on a shelf next to a journal for writing notes and drawing sketches!
