More Insect Books

If you have a little one in your life who is fascinated by insects, here's a list of a variety of books on the topic. All of these are nonfiction because I had trouble finding good fiction books about bugs. Have any good suggestions?

The Silliest Bug and Insect Book Ever

From Barnes and Noble:
This book came from the author's fear of bugs and insects. She went to a hypnotist to help with this fear, but the only thing that came from that is this book. By taking the bugs and insects and imagining them wearing funny hats and being in funny situations, she was able to look at bugs and insects in a totally different way.

From the publisher:
This series explores exciting, real-world careers in science. Each title looks at a range of scientists in the field, the dangers and difficulties they face, and the training and tools necessary to do the job.

Insect Investigators covers: What are Entomologists? How do Entomologists study insects? What have Entomologists discovered? How do people become Entomologists?
