The All about Insects series (6 titles) introduces common backyard critters, utilizing vibrant, closeup photos (often labeled) and clear text. The books provide general overviews that include basic information on the insects' bodies and life cycles, while concrete details about each kind of insect and sometimes about particular species, both in the main text and in fact boxes, add depth. All about Dragonflies reveals that prehistoric dragonflies existed before dinosaurs and possessed wingspans of up to three feet long! The front matter provides "Ideas for Parents and Teachers," and the back matter includes a hands-on activity, a glossary, and an index. These books offer young entomologists plenty of information and make good starting points for research.
