Twins, Nakina and Kaoru are going on another expedition with their grandpa, Bompa. Bompa takes them to look for insects near their house. As they discover the tiny animals living around them, Bompa teaches the twins about insects by imagining what it would be like to be the insects. 

I liked the twins' dynamic and curiosity with their grandpa. Young bug lovers will enjoy this book. The text would be too wordy for most preschool-aged children but would be perfect for kids ages 5 to 10. The characters are from Canada and are ethically Asian.
