AGE 5 AND UP

Bugs By Simon Tyler Pavilion £12.99

A pleasing antidote to the jam-packed factbook, this offers an appealingly fresh layout with large, bold, graphic representations of bees, beetles, butterflies and more. It brings in a nuance of academia, introducing orders and Latin names, yet the funky illustrations and minimalist design make the whole thing feel cool. What child will not marvel at the hues of the bluespotted tiger beetle? A must for young scientific minds.
