Elinor Wonders Why: Bugging Out is a story about a group of animal friends deciding which insect they will dress up as for school. Elinor chooses a butterfly, and through her costume-making the reader learns all about butterflies. This graphic novel does a good job of integrating scientific factoids about the insect without overwhelming the reader, with more information given at the end of the story for those interested. A nice addition to nonfiction sections, and a good graphic novel to hand to a child going through their insect phase.
