What 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!

We 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.
