RSPB First Book Of Minibeasts

Wonderful book. My 2.5 year old loves it. The illustrations are big, detailed and is a precise illustration of the real insect. There is a good amount of key insects in the book but not soo many that it's overwhelming. My toddler can handle the book himself easily and The pages are thick and durable- perfect for little explorers hands. Perfect size to take with you out and about. My toddler likes to talk about the insects and it quickly allowed him to recognise insects in the garden. He also likes looking up a bug in the book after we have seen one in real life. Just a right amount of key information is provided on each minibeast.

I bought two of this range of books for a four and a two year old. I was delighted with them. The books are colourful and detailed. They ideal presents for children to identify wildlife generally.

My little boy developed a fear / fascination for all things winged and buzzy so I bought this in attempt to promote the fascination rather than the fear. He is really interested and we often pore over it together or try to identify any little beasties that we find. It features most of the insects and creepy crawlies you might find in your garden or out on a walk. It's illustrated by bright photography and has child friendly descriptions.

My Granddaughter was very excited when I gave her book and she could not wait to go out to find everything

Bought for great nephew 5 plus. An ideal introduction to bug hunting, especially combined with the mini child's binoculars. Lavish illustrations, and easily understandable text, with material linked to National Curriculum. KS 1 but will last for a couple of years after. A Christmas present that will be used for a long time. Quick delivery

Lovely little book for a 4 year old obsessed with creepy crawlers just enough information to keep his interest nice clear pictures. Tick list nice touch

As I'm a childminders and this months theme was mini beasts I thought this would be handy. I could only get a used one but unfortunately some pictures had been cut out. After e mailing the company they replied immediately ,apologizing and refunded the money paid and the postage plus to keep the book. It was a shame it was in a poor condition but still came in useful and the company couldn't have dealt with it better so all turned out well and I would use them again

Lovely book. Ideal from about 2 years up. Has good pictures and information on each page, and a tick list at the back to mark off what the child has seen. My grandson loves it.

This book has lovely pictures and explanations, and I like that the kids can "tick" their findings in the back of the book. However, the pastic bag used for the shipment did not protect the book enough from being bent on the corners.
