Author Notes: Matthew Reinhart is a self-proclaimed bug lover! He's so crazy about these creepy crawly critters that he co-authored two dazzling pop-up picture books about them, Young Naturalist's Pop-Up Handbook: Beetles and the New York Times best-selling Young Naturalist's Pop-Up Handbook: Butterflies. This master paper engineer also crafted the dynamic pop-ups in The Pop-Up Book of Phobias and The Pop-Up Book of Nightmares. Matthew Reinhart lives in New York City (in a roach-free apartment, mind you)
