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
