NSTA RecommendsThis is a delightful presentation for the inquiring minds of children who often imagine monsters. . . .[A] wealth of information [that] . . . opens a vista for understanding their place in the animal kingdom. . . . Without having to have access to a lab, students can see the microscopic inhabitants of our world and wonder. The embossed cover gives a sensory reward to picking up the book, and the graphic layout calls one to read it. This is a great book to encourage student research as they enter the world of the unseen. BooklistHyper-close-up photos detail all manner of stingers, stabbers, pincers, and chompers poking out from plated exoskeletons and hairy abdomens. This entry in the Kingdom series, imported from Australia, is a great way to sneak in some basic science learning amid the din of death and destruction. If kids dare enter.
