"Written in conversational tone, the text addresses kids with respect for their capability to observe insects, record what they see, and study the data they collect. Throughout the book, bright colors are used as background and design elements, while clearly reproduced photos appear alongside paragraphs of text. An appealing introduction to entomology.” — Booklist. |
