About Insects / Sobre los insectos

A Guide for Children / Una guía para niños



This beginner's guide to insects is a must-have for bug-obsessed young learners as well as for those who are simply curious about these creatures.

In this addition to the acclaimed About... series, author and educator Cathryn Sill uses simple, easy-to-understand language to teach children what insects are, how they look, how they move, what they eat, and where they live.

With beautifully detailed, realistic paintings, noted wildlife illustrator John Sill introduces readers to a wide variety of insects, from ants and beetles to grasshoppers and the monarch butterfly.

An afterword provides further details, inspiring young readers to learn more.
