The Boy Who Loved Bugs – The Story of Jean-Henri Fabre

Myself and my girls really liked this book to go along with our arthropods unit study. Very informative with beautiful illustrations.

My kindergartener is very interested in bugs right now and was fascinated by this story of Jean Henri Fabre. I do think this is a better book for older children but since she is so interested in the subject she happily listened to this whole book.

This book is written in story/narrative format and my boys loved it! We have a few of Jean-Henri Fabre’s insect books, so it was extra interesting to read this story. As soon as we finished, my boys ran out the door to track down some insects. The art work is fantastic!

The pictures and color of the illustrations are lovely and the story-like telling of the biography of Jean-Henri Fabre draws you in. It is perfect for the whole family!

Interesting look into the life of Jean-Henri Fabre. It was so great to read how a simple curiosity, carefully nurtured, grew and developed into a love for and expertise in science and nature. This book is engaging and beautifully illustrated.
