Insectopia is a beautifully illustrated all ages book about insects by Dr. Jiří Kolibáč and illustrated by Pavel and Pavla Dvorsky. Released 21st Nov 2023 by Albatross Media, it's 96 pages and is available in hardcover format.
The drawings are realistically rendered in color in pencil. The illustrations are anatomically detailed and the book/writing is also scientifically accurate and up to date. The author writes engagingly and accessibly, with simple language which will be easy for readers to understand.
The book includes anatomy, nomenclature, evolutionary background, and lots of interesting and educational facts on different insect families.
Five stars. Although it's billed as juvenile non-fiction, all ages will find it interesting and educational. Very young readers will probably need an adult's help, but middle school and older will find it understandable. This would make a great choice for public or school library acquisition, for home use, or for gift giving to a bug-interested youngster.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
