“This book in the Science Solves It series packs a big punch . . . Sims’ lively cartoon sketches, washed in a rainbow of colors, are funny and filled with expression, and Knudsen provides lots of facts in boxes scattered across the pages. In addition to all the surprising, useful bug facts, there’s a good lesson in problem solving.”
—A.L.A. Booklist

“Clear and simple sentences, colorful realistic illustrations, and diverse characters all contribute to this appealing easy reader. The facts are delivered with humor, making for a thoroughly enjoyable read.”
—A.L.A. School Library Journal

“Michelle Knudsen has created a delightful naturally told story, enhanced and clarified with the expressive pictures of Blanche Sims. I recommend this addition to any classroom or school library. There are so few books of this quality and currency out there.”
—Donna Edwards, Library Media Specialist, Pembroke Elementary School, Danbury, CT

“The stated goal of the Science Solves It! series is to show children that science is a part of their lives every day, every week, and every month. Bugged! meets this goal.”—
—Mary Kirk, Media Coordinator, Sherwood Forest Elementary, Winston-Salem, NC
