The third in our award-winning Atlas series, following Dinosaur
Atlas and Animal Atlas, Lonely Planet Kids' Bug Atlas focuses on
the magical miniature world of creepy crawlies. Continent by
continent, we take a tour around the globe to uncover fascinating
bugs, insects, scorpions, spiders and other icky things that live
around, alongside - and often even on - us. Maps show where the
critters live, while gatefolds and flaps open to reveal their
wonderful, and sometimes very weird, mini lives. From spiders the
size of dinner plates, stick insects as long as golf clubs and
mega-ant colonies that stretch across countries to cannibal
mantises, zombie ants, giant millipedes, beautiful butterflies,
shiny iridescent beetles and more, this is a fascinating, in-depth
exploration of the world of bugs. As with previous titles in this
series, Bug Atlas features a mixture of art and photography,
densely packed with information and illustrated with incredible
images. Features include: Detailed maps of every continent showing
where all the fascinating bugs live. Data boxes for each amazing
species, listing its name, size, habitat, diet and more. Life-size
elements, both big and small, showing you just how enormous a
goliath-bird eating spider is (you don't want to know) to tiny bugs
that share our homes almost unnoticed. Incredible macro photography
revealing the minute detail of these minibeasts Animal Adaptations
- Showing how each species is perfectly adapted for its
environment, including the amazing camouflage of leaf insects.

When a group of angry foreign birds demand that Maya and her
friends participate in their evil plots of revenge and destruction
against humans by exploiting their weaknesses, Maya and her friends
quickly realize that if they don't think of an alternative plan,
the entire world will be destroyed. Maya and her friends utilize
their lifelong experiences to come up with an alternative plan by
learning from human's strength and ingenuity. With that, they not
only convince foreign birds but also the entire animal kingdom to
participate in their new vision. Thus, together they not only save
their forest, but also the world. This is a hopeful and
inspirational tale of a group of birds and animals who- despite all
the odds against them- overcome their agony and sorrow. They not
only save their forest and habitat, but also assist humans in their
struggles to protect the environment and save the planet from more
destruction. This novel is a metaphor that discusses our past,
present and future in an easy to understand language as seen
through birds' perspective. If you enjoyed The Alchemist by Paulo
Coelho or Life of Pi by Yann Martel, you will certainly love this
