K-3No Backbone! The World of Invertebrates series.
This series combines gross-out elements with ecological and scientific details. The crisp close-up photographs are large and well captioned, with overall layout consistent throughout the series. The facts provided, though informative, seem randomly chosen, repetitive, and/or too vague at times. Some text is repeated among books. Reading list. Glos., ind. Review covers these No Backbone! The World of Invertebrates titles: Leggy Centipedes, Stinging Scorpions, Wiggly Earthworms, Bloodsucking Leeches, Roly-Poly Pillbugs, and Creeping Land Snails.
