Editorial Reviews

Gr 1-4- With a minimum of scientific terms, each title describes a few general characteristics of all insects and some distinctive characteristics of those that are featured here. On each chapter spread, several short sentences of text, set against a pastel background, are illustrated by a full-page (or a page and a quarter) color picture of one or more of the species. Most of the photos are sharply defined close-ups, so detailed that in shots of the insects' eggs, each one is distinct. Antennae segments, hairs, and spines on the insects' legs and bodies, etc., are clearly visible as well. Leaf-shaped sidebars offer miscellaneous facts; a one-page appendix describes general characteristics of invertebrates and includes photos of four related insects. While the brief texts are clearly written, the amount of information offered is limited, particularly on anatomy. The three main body parts of insects are only mentioned in each title's glossary, in the definition of "insects"; Butterflies doesn't describe scales; Stink Bugs mentions the insects' wings but doesn't describe or depict them. Ting Morris's Butterfly (Smart Apple Media, 2004), illustrated by fine color drawings, covers the same topics in more detail and includes anatomical diagrams of both the larval and adult stages. Of the three Goldish titles, Walkingsticks will be the most useful; its close-ups are superior to those of Patrick Merrick's Walkingsticks (The Child's World, l997) and Emily K. Green's Walkingsticks (Children's Press, 2006) and it contains a detail not included in either of these titles-that some species have wings.-Karey Wehner, formerly at San Francisco PublicLibrary
