A unique look at how some insects may be a little more like us than we think.

The author starts out with bugs aren’t like us. They don’t give kisses or hugs, they don’t make scrambled eggs and toast. But then turn the page and it goes on to give facts about an insect and how it is like us. “A mother short-tailed cricket lays extra, tiny eggs. Once her babies hatch, the special eggs will be her little ones’ first breakfast.” And it continues through the book stating different everyday activities that bugs don’t do, but when the reader turns the page it describes an insect that does a similar activity. The end of the book comes to the conclusion that bugs are like us.

The author includes further information about the different insects referenced in the book as well as a few books for more information. She also mentions the difference between the playful language that she used in the book and scientific language.

A fun look at the similarities between ourselves and bugs. It also introduces the reader to insects they may not be familiar with.
