Riassunto

Learn all about how amazing bugs and minibeasts are in this detailed guide to over 40 small creatures from around the world. Bugs and minibeasts may be small, sometimes slimy, and maybe a little scary, but they are AMAZING and deserve respect and empathy.

Don't Squish A Slug will show you everything you need to know, and more, about why bugs are the most important creatures on the planet, even if they may not look it!

For example, did you know that there are bugs who. . .

• Use disguise to blend in with their surroundings,
• Bugs who have come up with clever defence tactics to keep themselves safe,
• AND bugs who have broken world records?

Or, did you know that. . . 

• The Taurus Scarab Beetle is the strongest insect in the world and can pull 1,141 times its own body weight – which is the equivalent of a human lifting six double-decker buses!
• Or. . . that the Banana Slug has anesthetic slime, so if you were to lick one your tongue would go numb!

Learn about how awe-inspiring bugs really are in Don't Squish A Slug. Written by zoologist, conservationist and wildlife TV presenter Yussef Rafik and illustrated by Riley Samels (who makes every bug look cool), Dont Squish A Slug is a treasure-trove of expert information and quirky, retro illustrations for young readers to enjoy. 

So. . . don’t squash a spider, don’t step on ants and definitely don’t squish a slug!
