Where do bugs go in the winter? Well, it turns out that lots of them die, laying eggs to hatch in the spring. Others do different things, like ladybugs that huddle together for warmth, monarch butterflies that migrate all the way to Mexico, and woolly bear caterpillars who actually freeze and spend the winter as bugsicles. The text would have been more effective if it had been shorter and then perhaps more species of bugs could have been included. Kids who are bug fanatics may enjoy this one, but for tales of animals in winter, I'd stick with Under the Snow by Melissa Stewart. ( )
