A velvet worm fires sticky glue. A housefly tastes with its feet. An army ant colony builds a bridge out of its own bodies. The closer you look at small animals, the stranger the world gets.
500 Gross and Amazing Bug Facts takes curious children on a tour of insects, spiders, centipedes, snails, slugs and their tiny neighbours. Every page holds four illustrated discoveries, written in clear language a five year old can follow and a ten year old will still enjoy.
Chapters on slime, stings, disguises, builders, hunters and night life, plus a glossary that explains the tricky words, a discovery quiz with answers and an animal index so a favourite creature is easy to find again.
This is a book for dipping into. Read four facts at bedtime, or let a child browse and land wherever a creature catches the eye.
