Informative, execeptionally well presented for young readers

The latest title in the Reader's Digest "Pathfinders" series for young readers, Insects And Spiders incorporates six paths to learning: Visual Section Opener (stimulates curiosity); Inside Story (puts a human face on important scientific discoveries); Hands On (describes projects and activities for an interactive approach to learning); Word Builders (delves into the fascinating history of words and phrases); That's Amazing! (highlights extraordinary facts and figures); Pathfinder (provides creative cross-references to other pages, enabling children to let their interest guide them through this 64 page, full color, impressively illustrated and informative book). Another highly recommended "Pathfinder" title from Reader's Digest Children's Publishing for home, school, and community libraries is Earthquakes And Volcanoes.

An Amazing Book!

I'd say the illustrations are fantastic! And I think the book is fascinating. I really think you should look at the beetle picture page. You can learn a lot about different insects and bugs by reading this book. I think it is the best book I have read. Matt, age 8.
