A comical version of the old-fashioned naturalist's handbook, Insect-lo-pedia describes the origins, life cycle, and characteristics of insects as a group, as well as the behavior of particular types of insects. Designed to be both whimsical and informative, the book pairs clear, interesting snippets of factual information with illustrations of insects, both realistic and amusingly anthropomorphized.
