Bravery can protect us from stings and allow us to observe the nature of stinging insects. Toni Buzzeo guides young readers on how to behave around stinging insects to prevent stings, how to ease the pain of a sting, and what can be learned by carefully observing stinging insects at work. A perfect title for scientifically leaning readers who use their science eyes in the world around them.
