(3) K-3 Illustrated by Julien Norwood & Emmanuelle Tchoukriel. This is a browsable and beautifully illustrated guide to mollusks, worms, and arthropods (e.g., insects and arachnids). Realistically detailed drawings (with some cartoony art interspersed) accompany an engaging bullet-point text that opens with general information about the three groups and their reproduction, growth, and migration. Three themed sections each focus on flying insects, ground dwellers, and water creatures. A fifth catchall section lists some superlatives (e.g., biggest, oldest), "most beautiful butterflies," pests, nocturnal critters, and house "guests." Activities (e.g., building a snail terrarium) are included throughout; four spreads feature different scenes (balcony garden, meadow, forest, seashore) with questions to guide observation. Includes an index.
