So after becoming a parent January 2019 I naturally started looking for insect related children's books, since the important stuff needs to come in to play early. We have a few encyclopaedia styled books with pictures of different kind of insects, spiders and other creepy crawlers and then we have Astrid. Astrid a blowfly and the main character in a series of books for kids at age ca 1-3 years. Astrid isn't a 100% anatomically correct blowfly sure, but she is a blowfly and a main character in a book series and my toddler can now say blowfly (in Swedish since that's the language of the books, so spyfluga) so I cannot express my love and joy for this little insect enough. Go Astrid!
