(4) 4-6 Edge Books: Bug Wars series. Comparing and "rating" two insect species by their physical features, each book in this science-based series imagines the opponents fighting "to the death." The gimmicky text emphasizes such words as threat, attack, and defense, and includes "Fierce Fact" sidebars; magnified photos of insect "weaponry" (pincers, stingers, fangs, and venom) are featured throughout. The "battle" then occurs in cinematic present tense. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind. Review covers the following Edge Books: Bug Wars titles: Scorpion vs. Centipede and Praying Mantis vs. Giant Hornet.
