Checkerboard Science Library: Bugs!

Checkerboard Science Library: Bugs! series.
These slim volumes provide basic facts about types of insects. Each book covers the same topics, including body parts, physical development, homes, and food. The unassuming design, including "Bug Bytes" sidebars and amazing close-up photographs, are the books' strengths. The conversational tone lightens the informational texts but sometimes slips into unscientific opinions, referring to the bugs as "gross" and "disgusting." Glos., ind. Review covers these Checkerboard Science Library: Bugs! titles: Ants, Beetles, and Box Elder Bugs.
