This quick reference guide is a helpful addition for any elementary science class. An insect checklist, labeling and outlining body parts, makes it easy for students to identify their findings. A simple explanation of how insects grow followed by where they may be hiding and how to locate them is also included. Sixteen very common insects are pictured along with two informative pages about each one. When you find an insect take the sticker of the insect and place it on the bug's page. Then you can write your comments in the Field Note section of the book. This hands-on book is a great little learning tool. 2001, Grosset & Dunlap, $5.99. Ages 7 to 10. Reviewer: Sharon Tolle
