Finally, a bug book with buzz "? literally. DK's impressive, rectangle-shaped hardback "Buzz" sports a colorful cover of various "creepy-crawlies," with three of them "? a bee, a mosquito and a cricket "? equipped with built-in sound chips that, when pressed, duplicate their annoying noises.

If you can get your kids past that, they'll be treated to a vibrant, fun look at all things insect (and arachnid), staged in a way that makes reading the book look like a game, rather than a lesson. They'll love it.
