Children will be fascinated by Bug City®, an engaging video series created to help kids learn about insects and other small critters. Host Christina Ricci (Casper, The Addams Family movies) and Dr. Art Evans, Insect Zoo Director for the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, teach children about the fun science of bugs. Bugsy Seagull™, an irresistible, wisecracking puppet, adds a measure of playful mischief that ensures kids will laugh as they learn about the world of insects. All aspects of bug life are touched upon, including body structure, food, habitat, life cycle, mating, camouflage, mutualism (symbiosis), adaptations, social behavior and more. Students will also learn how to collect and care for various bugs, how to build insect habitats and attract interesting bugs to them, and spend hours observing insects in action. Each program contains the most dramatic microscopic photography of insects ever shot. This entertaining, yet highly informative series is certain to delight kids who are interested in bugs and want to learn more about them. A Teacher's Guide is included with each program.
