Focus on Insects

You're probably familiar with a number of insects from butterflies to ladybugs, but did you know there are actually 900 thousand known insect species in the world? This book overturns a few rocks so that readers can explore the world of insects and find out how they grow, eat, and move. Burgeoning insect lovers are introduced to a wide variety of these creatures--from insects that can breathe underwater to ones that help plants reproduce. Colorful photographs accompany many fascinating facts, and a scale shows just how big some of these insects really are. Fun activities are provided which encourage the study of insects in writing, dance, and even arts and crafts.
