What is Don't Call Me an Insect! about?

Charlie and Bumble set off on an exciting bug hunt, but the creatures they meet are quick to correct them. A spider, centipede, woodlouse and other garden-dwellers explain why they are not insects. At last, Charlie discovers some true insects—and a surprising creature that does not look like one at all. With lively rhyming text, colourful illustrations and a fact file, this playful adventure introduces young readers to the differences between insects and other fascinating arthropods.
