Bug Patrol
Series of 4 titles
The insect kingdom is an essential part of Earth's ecological communities. Certain bugs are ideal creatures for young scientists to study because they coexist with people and are easy to observe. Ants, spiders, bees, and butterflies are the appealing subjects of these delightfully designed volumes. Readers are introduced to essential life-science concepts, such as animal camouflage and habitats, through at-level facts about each creature. Beautiful photographs support key points in the text, allowing readers to see these fascinating animals up close. • An interactive feature invites readers to compare actual-sized bugs on the page to their own hands • Each book begins with a call to collect materials, such a magnifying glass, and head outside to identify different kinds of bugs • Series supports a main tenet of elementary science curricula-observing animals in nature and investigating how they survive
