TTT: Books with Bugs On the Cover

Top Ten Tuesday: 

Books with Bugs On the Cover Where I Learned Something about the Bugs or the Human Psyche.

The Great Divide by Cristina Henriquez
Building the Panama Canal which reveals a lot about how people from other cultures often feel about each other. (Colonialism?)

Jumper by Jessica Lanan
One spider's experience in the backyard. Very revealing.

What's Inside a Caterpillar Cocoon by Rachel Ignotofsky
A children's book but I learned so much about both moths and butterflies as an adult.


Flight Behavior by Barbara Kingsolver
Climate change and monarch butterfly migration.

Lord of the Flies by William Golding
It's all about the nature of boys and how quickly things can fall apart.

The Secret History of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd
About grief and the Civil Rights Movement.

The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka
The animal nature inside us? Can you find the spider in the drawing?

The Girl Who Drew Butterflies by Joyce Sidman
A biography about Maria Merian's Art Which changed Science.

Unsheltered by Barbara Kingsolver
A home over time. What it means to have a place to live.
