内容简介:
Insects make up the largest class of animals on Earth. There are more than one million classified insect species, and many scientists believe there may still be millions of unknown varieties. This series focuses on six species of insects that are rarely showcased in books for children. Each insect exhibits a specialized behavior or physical trait that will excite young readers while teaching them about the relationships that bind all living things. Vibrant, full-spread photographs will take the reader up-close with insects and their habitats. Clear, informative text will guide the reader through the life cycle of each creature and inspire a life long love of the natural sciences. Correlated directly to grades K-6 curriculum in the life sciences, this series discusses the evolution of physical and behavioral adaptations in insects and describes the relationships between animals and their natural habitats, between animals and plants, and between animals and other animals.
