Review by Publisher's Weekly Review
Dirty Rotten Bugs? by Gilles Bonotaux explores the many types of arthropods, starting with a discussion on classification ("An arthropod is an invertebrate animal, which means we don't have a spine. But watch out, we aren't spineless cowards!"). The book examines more than 25 species; pertinent information pairs with goofy illustrations to give these little creatures appropriately buggy personalities.

Review by Horn Book Review
Tired of the bad reputation given to them by humans, the arthropods (""insects, spiders, centipedes, millipedes"") attempt to sort out what makes them unique, though they (just as often) reinforce their negative images. Cartoon illustrations add levity to the factual text, but the busy pages are overwhelming to the eye. A quiz is included at the end. Glos., ind. (c) Copyright 2010.
