On Sunday, my six-year-old son spotted a green praying mantis in his treehouse. Then, yesterday, when we went to the library, there was a brown praying mantis on the car next to ours. Our fate was sealed: We had to check out books on praying mantises.
This book was great for young readers. There were loads of colorful, detailed photographs and the text was clean and concise and informative.
