Description

Did you know that aphids poop honeydew? It’s true! And it’s also fact that ants harvest this sweet poo. In this insect introduction, early readers will see aphids more as honeydew suppliers than pests. Red ones, black ones, green ones, woolly ones, and winged ones are all swarming in this title!

Gr 1-3-Common and lesser-known insects are described in these straightforward, easy-to-follow introductions. Each spread features a text box alongside a photograph that spans a page and a half. A couple of sentences present basic facts: "Wasps are great hunters. Many of these insects have sharp stingers." The simple sentences and double-spaced lines make the text inviting to younger readers. Physical features, habitats, and life cycles are introduced effectively through the words and pictures. The photos match the text quite effectively. When readers learn that cicadas "have four clear wings" or that "dragonflies have huge eyes," a vivid image depicts those features clearly. Insets highlight "favorite food," life span, and an actual-size diagram. VERDICT Fine insect profiles for beginners, featuring some types not often covered in children's books, such as aphids, earwigs, and damselflies. © Copyright 2017.
