A Wild Wander Through the Weird and Threatened World of Bugs

By: Brenna Maloney, Dave Mottram - Illustrator

Narrated by: Sandy Rustin

The insect world is a fascinating place.

You may not think so. You may think insects are gross. Or scary. Or dangerous. But there’s so much more to insects than what meets the eye.

Told through hilarious prose and packed full of jaw-dropping facts, Brenna Maloney’s first-person narrative presents the big picture on bugs. Insects play a critical role on our planet—as pollinators, garbage collectors, artistic muses, research partners, and even as “dinner.” As weird and wonderful as they are, insects and their habitats are under threat in our changing world. Using thorough research and investigative techniques, as well as employing a healthy dose of humor, Maloney helps listeners see the world through their eyes.

Fascinating, Disgusting, Amusing

I am not a frequent non fiction reader, but this book got my attention. I was pleasantly surprised while reading the amount of times I gasped, laughed, and shook my head like I would with a fiction title. The information in this book is fascinating and gives a new perspective of what role insects have in our lives and environment. I truly enjoyed this read!
