Description
Young readers will learn about cockroaches, including how and where they live and how these creepy creatures are important parts of their world.
Quick Summary
This little book blows kids' minds by revealing the superpowers of one of nature's most icky creatures. They'll gasp at crazy facts like how roaches can hold their breath for 40 minutes and sprint across the kitchen floor three miles per hour. If your kid loves the squirmy humor of "Captain Underpants" but wants to sneak in some real science, this book is a perfect pick. Ideal for kindergarten through second graders who think bugs are cool or just want the ultimate conversation starter for recess.
