Members of the insect class often get a bad rap. People swat at them, stomp on them, and go to great lengths to repel them. Though some insects are pests that spread disease, many are actually helpers, pollinating plants and eating other insects that wreak havoc. Investigate the world of insects and discover that many are a class act!
Just right for an emerging reader who is looking for the chance to learn some beginning facts. This does just enough without overcomplicating the matter. The photography is very clear and engaging and the book does an admirable job of explaining some basic matters of biological classification, which a teacher will appreciate though a student might not see as terribly important yet. Good elementary library book.
