The book is packed with facts about bugs , some of which Bella regularly spots, but also includes the bugs she dreams about seeing one day--different insects from all over the world.



Bella makes a magical moth trap, spies a butterfly laying an egg, and shows her friends how to hop like a grasshopper! Follow Bella as she shares her love of bugs --discover how many bugs might be lurking in a pond, see how awesome ants are, and be amazed by mighty stag beetles.

Published Reviews
Booklist Review: "Once readers see insects through Bella's bug-loving eyes, they'll catch her exuberant enthusiasm. With a pack full of collecting supplies, Bella sets off, meeting up with two trusty friends--Billy, a bird enthusiast, and Pedro, a budding gardener--along the way. She examines ants and bees, "bouncing bugs" like grasshoppers, "beautiful butterflies," and "brilliant beetles." She makes observations, sets catch-and-release traps (with instructions for the reader to do the same), and discusses insect behavior and features with her friends. The art and the text blend together seamlessly, and the pages are varied and busy while still feeling cohesive. Cartoon-style panels, labeled diagrams (an ants' nest, butterfly metamorphosis, bug charts), whimsical dialogue, and even sound effects ("Swoosh!" "Hop!") combine to engaging effect. A grouchy spider also adds to the fun by interjecting humorous disgruntled comments. By the end of this book, insect lovers and skeptics alike will come to love or at least appreciate Bella--and her bugs, too! A champion entry in the Nature Heroes series (2 titles)."
