PRODUCT SUMMARY


Children will be fascinated by Bug City, an engaging 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.


EDITORIAL REVIEWS

"... Super (natural) close-up footage of bugs in the wild, great believe-it-or-not bug trivia, and a solid introduction to the basics of insect biology make Bug City an entertaining and informative choice for both public and curriculum collections. Highly recommended. Editor's Choice." - Video Librarian

"The programs offer enlightening commentary, beautiful close-ups, and interesting asides about ants, beetles, bees, butterflies, ladybugs, and spiders. The well-written script and spectacular footage illustrating habitats, physical attributes, reproductive stages, protective mechanisms, and adaptive behaviors should prove to be intrinsically captivating." - Booklist
