He has written many poems about them, and now here is a whole book devoted to bugs and minibeasts. Buzzing with energy and fun, it celebrates them in all their glorious bugliness-grasshoppers, moths, ladybugs, dung beetles, flies, wasps, even bedbugs get a look in, and finishes with the extraordinary tardigrades who can live in outer space. Many are shape poems-Carter's speciality-some are riddles, and all are perfectly matched by Neal Layton's fantastic color illustrations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeal Layton \u003c\/b\u003estudied Graphic Design and Illustration at Newcastle University and Central St Martin's School of Art.
