Roald Dahl's "James's Giant Bug Book" illustrated by Quentin Blake (Picture Puffin)

We're celebrating Roald Dahl Day, the great man's birthday with a roundup of some of the titles released with this year's theme...
"James and the Giant Peach" is an awesome book full of extraordinary insects that grow to giant size thanks to a sprinkle of magic, and along with James himself they embark on an adventure across the seas to New York, to escape spiteful Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker.

Learn more about the amazing insects and minibeasts in the book in "James's Giant Bug Book" with new illustrations from Sir Quentin Blake, and tons of amazing facts and brilliant activities that will help you find out the inner secrets of the bugs that featured in the story.

From caterpillars to centipedes, worms to ladybirds, the best thing is you won't have to look too far beyond your own back yard or garden to spot these amazing creatures.

Set up your own tumble trap, but always release the insects back into the wild once you've finished!

Activities are also included in the book to help you study creatures a little more closely. Set up a tumble trap so that you can get a better look at each species, or set up your own ant farm or wormery with a few bits and bobs from around the house.

The book features awesome passages from the story too, and there's plenty of Dahl-esque charm here to win you over. A great little book for would-be minibeast hunters and bug experts.

Roald Dahl's "James's Giant Bug Book" with illustrations by Quentin Blake is out now, published by Puffin (kindly supplied for review).
