The information was mostly good (though the folklore about local honey ameliorating seasonal pollen allergies has been pretty thoroughly debunked by double-blind studies in the last few years) and fairly entertaining. The assertion that bedbugs come from seedy hotels, communal dormitories and the like is also suspect. It would be a fun book for someone just beginning to learn about insects. Had this been around when my son was a tot, it would have been bedtime reading for sure. There just wasn't enough here that was new to me and the writing was pretty pedestrian. I'd have given it 3 stars if it had fewer errors and better illustrations. The website WhatsThatBug is a much richer source of information. ( )
