Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Did you know there are twice as many insects in the world as all other animals combined? They're all around us ... if we know where to look!
This beautifully illustrated book about bugs introduces young readers to ants, honeybees, dragonflies and more! It covers the basic body parts of different kinds of bugs, their life cycles, their range of unique habitats and even teaches how to tell them apart from common "insect impostors" like spiders. And it takes readers on a year through the lives of bugs, explaining which bugs can be found in each of the four seasons, and where. An interactive beginner's bug-watching guide provides a series of questions to lead readers through the steps of identifying bugs, and lists the tools every bug-watcher needs. This book is the perfect inspiration for new and long-time bug-watchers to get up close with these fascinating tiny creatures!
Pamela Hickman's comprehensive introduction to bugs is sure to encourage the naturalist in every child. The information is strikingly displayed through Carolyn Gavin's whimsical, painterly illustrations. As a part of the Nature All Around series, this book has strong STEAM curriculum applications for grades two to five, covering life science --- particularly the characteristics of living things --- and earth science topics. End matter in this excellent resource includes information about endangered bugs and how readers can help, step-by-step instructions for making an insect feeder, a glossary and an index.
Includes index.

"This beautifully illustrated, informative book explores everything you've ever wanted to know about bugs and where to find them. In this second book in the Nature All Around series, young readers will learn all about true bugs, complete and incomplete metamorphosis, bug habitats, migration and hibernation, a year in the life of a bug and more. A two-page spread helps kids identify the differences between insects and some common "insect impostors," like spiders and snails. Readers will even get to know the bugs in their communities with the help of a bug-watching questionnaire. End matter includes information about endangered bugs and how readers can help, a "Make an Insect Feeder" activity, glossary and index."-- Provided by publisher.
