(4) K-3 Where to Find Minibeasts series. These books cast insects and invertebrates as "minibeasts" and offer tips on finding and studying them. Though the information is a little sparse, the large-print texts boast early-reader-friendly definitions, trivia, and directions for catching invertebrates without harming them, in addition to some activities. Plenty of creepy-crawly close-ups as well as an "Identification Guide" help differentiate the creatures. Websites. Glos., Ind. Review covers these Where to Find Minibeasts titles: Minibeasts in a Pond, Minibeasts in the Compost Heap, Minibeasts in the Home, Minibeasts in the Soil, Minibeasts on a Plant, and Minibeasts Under a Stone.
