About the Author:
Robin Bernard is the author of the National Geographic children’s books Insects and A Tree for All Seasons.
From Scientific American:
This superb book will fascinate young explorers, whether or not they are reading yet. The smooth , well-paced text is accessible enough to engage a young listener and simple enough for an early reader. Your scientists will find out that insects are unique among the animals of the world because they alone have six legs. Insects are also likely to have three body segments, wings, and feelers on their heads, and to hatch from eggs. Kids will see an insect that tastes with its feet (a housefly) and one that hears through holes near its knees (a katydid). They will learn that some insects eat by sipping (butterflies), whereas others chew (grasshoppers), such (mosquitoes) or soak up (houseflies) their meals. The concise text conveys a lot of information and never seems too short or incomplete. It is complemented by beautiful, close-up photographs that may make your child ask to bring a magnifying glass on the next foray outdoors.
