Insect Facts and Folklore

80 pp. | Lerner/Millbrook | August, 2001 | Library ISBN 0-7613-1822-4 $$27.90
(4) 4-6 Scientific facts about twelve insects are each followed by a brief discussion of the insect in the folklore of various cultures. The concept is interesting, but in rushed overviews of both, readers don't get a complete picture of the relationship between natural history and myth. Color photographs of insects accompany each chapter. Source notes and a list of websites are appended. Bib., ind.
