World of Insects

This book is an excellent learning tool for all ages about insects. Within this book you learn about roughly seventeen different insects. You learn what insects are, what they eat, how they defend themselves, and other things. The part that I liked is how they try to bring to scale how big things are on insects compared to a human. For example, did you know that "if you were as strong as the world's largest beetle, you could lift up a heavy truck in your arms?"At the end of this book, they list "fast facts" about some of the insects. Within that information they list where they live, the food they eat, worst enemies, along with other things. At the very end of the book they have a "puzzle" section, which tests what you have learned.I bought this book for my young daughter, for when she gets older to learn from. However, I must admit I learned a few things from reading it first. I would also like to recommend the following books in the series: Dinosaurs, Sharks and Snakes.I hope that this review was helpful to you. Again, this is a wonderful learning tool for a person of any age.
