The Bug Collector

　　After George visits the Museum of Wildlife with Grandad, all he can think about is bugs! The very next day he goes out hunting, but he soon finds there are no more insects left in the garden, and the ones he has captured in jars don’t look very happy… George is about to learn exactly why bugs are so important. A brilliant, vibrant debut from Alex G Griffiths, featuring a wonderful grandfather-grandson relationship.

　　Review
　　The story is filled with action and movement and the pages are packed with detail. I love the way George chases after his bugs with such a loping stride and the relationship between him and his grandfather is tender and convincing. ― LoveReading4Kids

　　Properly informative and lovely to read. ― Angels & Urchins

　　The Bug Collector is not only a very enjoyable story, it also incorporates information about mini beasts and their importance in the natural world. Sharing this book might inspire young naturalists to observe bugs in their natural environment and find out more about creating minibeast friendly habitats. ― Books for Keeps

　　Griffiths delightfully captures George’s enthusiasm while delivering a gentle lesson in environmental stewardship. ― Booklist
