Booklist Review
These new books in the How Do? series (2 new titles) take a light, playful approach to topics that involve serious science. The illustrations by Bassani have the feel of cartoons and often use speech bubbles to add somewhat silly commentary on the topics covered. In the text, questions introduce a new topic every couple of pages; often, a serious question is paired with a funny one. In How Do Ants Survive a Flood?, author McKay poses questions about different kinds of bugs, ranging from ants, bees, and ladybugs to worms and spiders. For example, "How do worms move without legs? Do they ride around in tiny minecarts?" Each set of questions is addressed in the next several pages of text. The back matter contains a comprehensive glossary and one or more extension activities for home use. A fun, slightly zany take on science topics that expands beyond the standard content.
