48 pp. | Amazon/Two Lions | May, 2015 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4778-2632-4 $17.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Giuliano Ferri. Little-known outside his native France, nineteenth-century entomologist Jean-Henri Fabre made important discoveries by observing living insects: he learned about metamorphosis and instinctual behaviors hard-wired into wasps and termites, and he proved that insects communicate via pheromones. Ferri's watercolor and pencil illustrations in earthy tones help to draw us into Fabre's fascinating world of curious intimacy with nature. Timeline. Bib.
