“This simple, fun text is perfect for young readers; they will enjoy the multitude of reasons to love bugs...I am proof that you don’t even have to like bugs to enjoy this cute, jiggly and surprising picture book.”

The Sapling

“Elspeth’s exquisite illustrations take you into the ‘wriggly jiggly’ ‘spiny shiny’ world of bugs. Each page glows with such colour and detail you feel like you are in the scene. The insects are magnificent. The writing is equally captivating. I love it.”

NZ Poetry Box

“The double page colour illustrations of flies, earwigs, mosquitos, gnats, crickets, beetles and some of our other six-legged friends are surprisingly endearing as well as scientifically accurate. (The eyes are exaggerated but young readers won’t mind.) Each scene, with its skilfully painted native plants, is perfectly matched to the insects in it...There is a magnificent surprise ending as the reader finds out the identity of the insect-loving narrator.”
