Look Out for Bugs

Book excerpt: Watch out! From the wet and wild meadows of the west to the sun-scorched desert, insects cleverly disguise themselves using nature's camouflage for protection. This hide-and-seek book for young readers features diorama habitats where insects live. Readers are encouraged to find the insects among the panoramic pages and then learn more in insect windows. The book encourages young readers to study detailed natural habitats made out of mixed media and find creatures hidden in crevices, nooks, and creeks. Habitats include the arid desert, the backyard, the creek, the forest, the meadow, and the marsh. For older kids the artwork in this book will astound and amuse and surprise. Unusual insects such as the caddis fly appear along with some other mysterious larvae.
