Editorial Reviews

Series Review: World Of Bugs "...This Series Gives New Readers A Sense Of The Huge Variety Of Shapes And Colors In Which Insects (And Arachnids) Come...Children Are More Likely To Be Intrigued Than Repelled By These Portrait Galleries." —School Library Jo

From the Publisher

K-Gr 1—Loosely interpreting "bugs" to include spiders, this series gives new readers a sense of the huge variety of shapes and colors in which insects (and arachnids) come. Opposite descriptive texts of one or two sentences per spread, high-quality, close-range photos show the creatures in poses and from angles designed to display heads, legs, and other parts clearly. Despite the titles, children are more likely to be intrigued than repelled by these portrait galleries; the winged and wingless walking sticks look as exotic as sea horses, and the creepy crawlies in Roaches are large, tropical species rather than the common household sorts. Each volume ends with four or five "Words to Know," but has no other back matter.
