Bugs and Spiders

by Jan Stradling

The thousand compound eyes of a dragon fly, the military precision of an ant attack, the extraordinary morphing of caterpillar into butterfly — these are a few of the fantastic images featured in this book. Children get a bug's-eye view of some of the planet's most intriguing. Five full-page acetate pages reveal the hidden workings of different animals’ bodies, while fascinating 3-D cross-sections provide one-of-a-kind views of these animals in their environments. Stunning computer-generated illustrations bring out even the tiniest details, from the hairy legs on the jumping spider to the intricate order of a beehive. Age-appropriate text, fascinating facts, and a glossary deepen young readers' knowledge.
