A Natural History of Insects in 100 Limericks

Rezensionen / Stimmen

A lyrical snapshot of some of insects found on this planet... An informative book on insects interwoven with some utterly nonsensical rhymes. -- Dr Erica McAlister * BBC Wildlife * This deliciously oddball collection of limericks about 100 well-known and not so well-known UK insects. The limericks lie somewhere between sophistication and silliness... They might make you wince, they'll certainly make you smile and you might learn something at the same time. -- Richard Rickitt * BeeCraft Magazine * This sweet book by Jones and his son,

Brings insects to everyone,

With quick texts and nice pics,

In your head they will fix,
Insect knowledge imparted with fun! * Bees for Development Journal * Distinctly different... Useful and accurate... Fun to read. * Bee Culture Magazine * 100 insects profiled with a line drawing, limerick and some basic factoids plus a few extra non-insect invertebrates thrown in for good measure at the end. Light reading to dip in for a bit of cheer. -- The Buzz, Buglife, Summer 2021 It's fun. I'd have thought this little gem would be as much at home in a junior school classroom as it would be in a Christmas stocking. -- John Tennent * Atropos * This charming little book offers you a bit of a chuckle over a cup of coffee... -- Frances McKim, Pest Magazine
