(3) K-3 Illustrated by Stephen Stone. Bugs seem different from humans, but wait: short-tailed crickets serve eggs to their offspring, bess beetles tuck their babies in, etc. Gross facts (there are poop cakes and soup made from spit)--as well as the anthropomorphic cartoon illustrations (juxtaposed with realistic ones)--will keep kids engaged with the scientific information. The conclusion? "Bugs ARE like us." More about each bug is appended. Reading list.
