Focus on Insects
Animal Watch
You're probably familiar with a number of insects from butterflies to ladybugs , but did you know there are actually 900 thousand known insect species in the world? This book overturns a few rocks so that readers can explore the world of insects and find out how they grow, eat, and move. Burgeoning insect lovers are introduced to a wide variety of these creatures--from insects that can breathe underwater to ones that help plants reproduce. Colorful photographs accompany many fascinating facts, and a scale shows just how big some of these insects really are. Fun activities are provided which encourage the study of insects in writing, dance, and even arts and crafts.

Cox, The Midwest Book ReviewSeries Review: Animal WatchPictures pop out of each page in this early science series. The text is simple, and main science facts are in sidebars.

This is a very attractive and engaging series.Library Media Connection
