Insects and spiders

Children are encouraged to investigate and record all the creepy crawlies they find as well as to get involved in hands-on activities, from making their own "pooter" to collect insects to building an ant farm. With a mix of fantastic photographs and beautiful illustrations, Insects and Spiders takes you through everything you need to know about these bewildering bugs. Learn what termites build their nests from, how an earwig looks after her eggs, and why wasps have black and yellow stripes. --from Amazon.
