FROM THE CRITICS
Children's Literature - Cherie Ilg Haas
This book is not for the squeamish—it's filled with close-up photographs of hungry insects satisfying their appetites with those that are lower on the food chain. Scary looking tiger beetles with large eyes and intimidating jaws look out from the page as the reader learns about how fast they must be in order to catch their prey. Many other hunting insects are included: ambushers, group attackers, and underwater hunters that swim. Readers will learn how bugs effectively hunt and kill their prey using the assets nature gave them, such as sticky spiders' webs and tricky mantises' camouflage. Eye-friendly colors, large type, and a fun layout make reading this book a real pleasure. A glossary and index are included. This title is part of the "Bug Zone" series, which would be perfect for libraries and science classrooms alike. Other titles in this series are Bugs That Build, Bug Athletes, Poisonous Bugs, and Water Bugs. 2003, Chrysalis Education, Ages 8 to 11.
