Bugs

What an eye-catcher!  Large, colorful, magnified images fill every page in this engaging book.  Bugs can be grouped into six categories: insects (beetles, flies, bees, ants), arachnids (spiders, scorpions, ticks), centipedes and millipedes, wood lice, worms, and slugs and snails.  Each category shows close-up examples, includes informative captions, and a “Find Out More” section which directs one to other pages.  Words along the bottom of the pages provide even more facts.  Stunning photographs show the adult, often including images of life-cycles and habitats.  The reading level is for upper elementary, but the book is fascinating to kids of all ages.  An extensive index, a glossary, and an interview with an entomologist (insect expert) are found in the back.  Great addition to any library!
