My 6 year old son received this as a present. He is clearly the target market, but this fact did not prepare me for the 72 hours (and counting) of total bug action that has followed on from the moment he opened this book.
It's a real hands-on guide, each creature gets about 4 pages - a couple on anatomy and background, and then a couple describing how to to catch them, construct a suitable house, diet, etc. The houses are (unlike a lot of these kind of books) easy to build for small people and don't need anything particularly fancy.
The book covers just about everything small and alive you're likely to find in a garden or pond - woodlice, slugs/snails, aphids, caterpillars, worms, earwigs, ladybirds, spiders, crickets, pseudoscorpions(!), mosquito and dragonfly larvae and water boatmen.
Great close-up pictures throughout and the level of the writing is spot on - easily understood but plenty of real information.
Got my son in the garden (rain and shine) and has really got him fired up about his local mini-wildlife. Highly recommended!

This is the second book by Nick Baker that I have given to my Grandson. Both books have been inspirational. Bug Zoo has continued to enthuse an eight year old and his younger brother. The illustration and amusing captions are perfect for engaging the young in an interest in the world around them. I am about to purchase habitat Explorer. A perfect diversion; hours have been spent searching for and collecting bugs or reading about it. A truly wonderful book for the young.

I saw the author, Nick Baker, talking about this book on television. It looked to be ideal for my 4 year old grandson and we have not been disappointed. Although he obviously cannot read the book, each page is mainly large colourful pictures showing how to make homes for all the things he can find in the garden with the help of an adult. I am sure it will be an excellent reference book for him in years to come as he gets older.
