Snail is on a mission. Bugs are being eaten all around her and she's determined to hunt down the culprit. But is it a lost cause? After all, as Glowworm explains, 'You can't fight the food chain'. Acclaimed picture book creator Matty Long brings his hallmark talents of deadpan comedy, witty commentary, and hilarious illustrations to elucidate the real life realities of invertebrate existence! In this fascinating and slightly disgusting series, readers can feast on a diet of facts about the animals, plants and ecosystems found in the natural world.

Reviews

What a great book to support learning about food chains in Science! Snail is on a mission to discover who is eating all the bugs... and discovers it is the food chain and what makes nature survive.

Who Ate All the Bugs? is a clever, funny book with SO many insects/bugs interacting with snail through speech and thought bubbles which explain what is happening and are very funny! We will definitely be using this to support our learning about food chains and I know children will love this creative exploration of this tricky subject. A great book with vivid illustrations!
