Synopses & Reviews
Meet the orthopterans, a scientific order of insects that includes grasshoppers, crickets, and katydids. Some of the insects featured include Aztec pygmy grasshoppers, migratory grasshoppers, house crickets, Mormon crickets, and true katydids. The books in the Animals in Order series help readers make sense of the animal kingdom. Each book focuses on a particular scientific grouping called an "order." Students will find it much easier to learn about the traits and behaviors of animals if they first know which ones are most closely related.
