Radiating an infectious spirit of discovery, this awesome addition to the innovative Illumi series is the ideal gift for young explorers and scientists.

Leading readers on an immersive bug-focussed journey through time and across the globe, incredible facts and lifeforms all but jump off the page through the three-colour lens that magically bring habitats, creatures and plants to life, with the artwork cleverly layered to reveal different elements — the red lens reveals insects, green is for plants, and blue makes other creepy crawlies burst forth, among them spiders, snails and worms.

After arming readers with essential facts about the bug family tree, bugs from each continent are revealed through a species guide and an “observation deck” spread that brings the magic lens into play. Covering land bugs, sea bugs, and prehistoric bugs, and with hundreds of species and facts to discover, this will keep kids entertained for hours.

Journey through the undergrowth with your magic three-colour lens (included) and discover over 180 minibeasts from every continent, under the sea and even from prehistoric times.
