About Insects: A Guide for Children

(4) K-3 Illustrated by John Sill. A minimal text distills very basic insect facts for young readers. Detailed, full-page color plates feature eighteen different insects in their natural environments, including Dogbane Leaf Beetles, Virginia Ctenuchid Moths, and Gladiator Katydids. Additional information about the illustrated insects is provided in an afterword that seems geared toward older readers.
