Nature Close-Up (Blackbirch)
Description
This book discusses the characteristics, habits, life cycle, and appearance of many species of bugs.
Quick Summary
Kids get an up-close look at the weird and wonderful world of insects, from the tiniest ants to the most colorful beetles. The book is packed with surprising facts about bug superpowers, like how ants can lift 50 times their body weight and why fireflies glow in the dark. If your kid loves the gross-out science in "Garbage Pail Kids" or enjoys exploring nature like in "The Magic School Bus," they'll be hooked on this bug encyclopedia. Perfect for kids in grades 3 through 6 who are curious about the crawling, buzzing creatures in their own backyard.
