Description

Supporting STEM-based learning, this fact-filled book for bug lovers ages 6-9 is the ultimate guide to amazing bugs and insects from across the globe, entertaining and educating young readers through a combination of close-up images, quirky trivia facts, quiz questions, and fascinating tidbits on everything from beetles to butterflies. What is the difference between a bug and an insect? Which bugs glow in the dark? How many lenses make up a dragonfly's compound eyes? Find out the answers to these questions and more in DKfindout! Bugs, which features stunning photographs of bugs and insects in their native environments, throughout every stage of their life cycles. This book teaches young entomologists what makes bugs different from other branches of the animal kingdom, while also providing a closer look at special insects from around the world, whether it's the noisiest bug, the strongest bug, or the one with the biggest wingspan. From tiger beetles to termites, DKfindout! Bugs captures the breadth of the bug world in a unique and fun way. Vetted by educational consultants, the DKfindout! series drives kids ages 6-9 to become experts on more than 30 of their favorite STEM- and history-related subjects, whether Vikings, volcanoes, or robots. This series covers the subjects that kids really want to learn about-ones that have a direct impact on the world around them, like climate change, space exploration, and rapidly evolving technology-making learning fun through amazing images, stimulating quizzes, and cutting-edge information. The DKfindout! series is one that kids will want to turn to again and again.
