Threekidsmom ParticipantWhat are your favorite living books about insects? I looked at Jack’s Insects, but my kids are only in second grade, and I don’t think they’re ready for that one yet. I’m also looking at one called The Insect Folk? Can anyone recommend that one? Thanks!
waynesweakervessel ParticipantMy boys love the Christian Liberty Nature readers. My little boys are 7 and 6. They have both read the first 4 and love them!!! Lots about bugs and insects in them!!!
Raines ParticipantI second the Christian Liberty Nature readers.
HollyS ParticipantWe like this nature guide for identifying bugs: http://www.amazon.com/National-Audubon-Society-American-Insects/dp/0394507630/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1399123252&sr=8-6&keywords=insect+nature+guide
It has color pictures instead of drawings or black and white pictures. The bugs are also organized by color.
We also enjoy the CLP Nature Readers!

A couple of these are out of print, but you may be able to find them at the library.
