Commentaire descriptif

The robber fly, click beetle, grasshopper, earwig and honeybee are just a few of the insects featured in this early reader chapter book on insects. Colour photographs of the creatures are provided in every spread. Large, spacious typesetting makes a good accompaniment to the active and interesting language. “Fleas have been around for millions of years. Imagine them leaping onto prehistoric animals, piercing their skin with sharp mouthparts and sucking up blood.” Alternately gory, funny, fascinating and reassuring, this insect science will appeal to young readers. Chapters include “Folklore” sections, andor a list of “Feats” for each bug. The table of contents allows budding scientists to easily use this book as a reference. A brief glossary is included. Insect enthusiasts will likely read it cover to cover, poring over pages full of fireflies, ladybugs and more.
