Reviews for Ace Lacewing, Bug Detective

[attebb · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

A cute book for grades 1-4. Ace Lacewing: Bug Detective is about Ace Lacewing who lives in Motham City and lives by the motto "bad bugs are my business." Using a lot of old Hollywood crime drama themes, Ace Lacewing is on the hunt for the kidnapped Queenie Bee. With the help of Sergeant Zito the mosquito and Xerces Blue, his girlfriend, Ace Lacewing hunts down the kidnapper and saves the Queen of all Honey. The book was very cute and it was filled with insect information that didn't feel cumbersome to the reader as it was laced into the story and the illustrations were fun and colorful. Definitely a book to have for little ones.
