I thought this book was well designed and the topic was interesting. This is one of a few of this type of 3-D books using the same trick that according to the book was invented in 1838! The thing that I liked most about this book had to be the 3-D picture technology—the pictures were so cool! There were even pictures of an ant anus and one of a fly rear end! Also did you know that killer bees were created by humans not by nature because some scientists wanted to create a bee that could make more honey? Instead the bees escaped and bred with other bees and made a bee with a really bad temper! Also whenever a killer bee bites someone it leaves a chemical alarm telling the other killer bees in the colony to attack.
     There is so much neat information in this book. Another thing is that migrating butterflies use magnetite to navigate on their long journey south. And that butterflies and bees see more colours than people—they can even see ultraviolet light! While I was reading this book I learned more than a few really cool facts about bugs.
     If I had to change anything about this book, I would make it longer so people could read more of the way cool bug facts they have in this book. Overall, this book is great and should be recommended to everyone. In a score of 1-10, this book (I would say) definitely gets 11. This book in two words would have to be stu-pendous!
