Termites: Mound Builders

by Lynn George

We often think of termites as destroyers rather than builders. True, they are damaging little creatures as they tunnel through wood, but termites can actually be beneficial in many ways. Extensive mounds and tunnels under the ground improve soil quality. Students will find out about nest builders, the mound builders, and the hierarchy of a termite colony through this informative life science edition.

An interesting book on termites. Filled with amazing photographs, young readers will learn how a colony of termites work and live. The book seems vague but it covers the necessities.
