(3) K-3 Illustrated by Alan Marks. This picture book celebrates an unlikely hero: the dung beetle. The fluid narrative covers habitats and behaviors of the three types--dwellers, rollers, and tunnelers--each of which relies on dung for food, liquid, and reproduction. Colorful watercolors add beauty and clarity to a fascinating look at these unusual "ancient symbols of life and renewal." Further information is appended. Bib., glos.
