Bella Loves Bugs tells the story of a day in the life of a girl who is passionate about bugs, as she goes off to Forest School where she always has many creepy-crawly adventures with her fellow nature hero friends!
The book is packed with facts about bugs, some of which Bella regularly spots, but also includes the bugs she dreams about seeing one day — different insects from all over the world.
Bella makes a magical moth trap, spies a butterfly laying an egg, and shows her friends how to hop like a grasshopper! Follow Bella as she shares her love of bugs — discover how many bugs might be lurking in a pond, see how awesome ants are, and be amazed by mighty stag beetles.
