Bugs seem to be one of the biggest nuisances sometimes, especially in the winter months when ladybugs seem to infest our homes. But these two books shed a more positive light on the intricacies of bug life - this time in print form as compared to the Disney movies we all have seen in the past. Purdue's own Tom Turpin provides short stories describing specific species and their day-to-day lives, while Gilbert Waldbauer describes the close ties bugs have with all parts of the ecosystem (especially, but more indirectly, with humans). West Lafayette Public Library Director Nick Schenkel has a review.
