Review by Dr. Sue W. Margulis, Brookfield Zoo:
Look Closer: An Introduction to Bug-Watching takes readers through a magnifying glass to examine the fascinating insect life found all around us. Wonderful illustrations blend with informative text to entice even the most reluctant budding naturalist to peer under the leaf litter, into a flower, or through a cat's fur. Although some children had difficulty getting past their bug phobias, most were excited by how fascinating insects could be, others enjoyed the beautiful illustrations of flowers. One child called this his favorite book because of so many pretty pictures and lots of details. Gay Holland's illustrations, and the captivating use of a magnifying glass makes this a delightful book for children of all ages, and indeed entices them to "look closer."
