Baker, Wendy and Haslam, Andrew. Insects. Chicago: World Book, 1993. J 595.7 B

Find out about insect vision, movement, growth, feeding, defense, habitat and more through over twenty hands-on activities. Become an entomologist and learn how to make a wasp's nest, insect eyeglasses, and working models of spiders, beetles, water bugs and more! Close-up color photos and step-by-step instructions make this book easy and fun to use.

"This book about insects is fun because it teaches you something about the insects, and it shows you how to make models of them. It also gives you ideas of where to find them and fun things to use like a tape recorder to record your information, a camera to take pictures of the insects, a pad and pen to take notes. It tells me things I never knew before: there are more kinds of insects than all other species put together! This hands-on approach is really interesting."
