You Can Be an Entomologist Format: Hardcover

Trek into the field with insect expert and National Geographic explorer Dr. Dino Martins to study all kinds of critters that creep, crawl, and fly to learn what exactly an entomologist does!

There are more than one million different kinds of insects in the world ... and curious kids seem to have just as many questions about them! That's why this book is set up in a kid-friendly question-and-answer format and has lots of wonderful images, too. Questions cover everything from "How do insects get their names?" to "How are insects helpful?" to answer all kinds of queries. Kids will learn how real scientists observe insects, capture them to study up close, and release them back into the wild.

This fun book is sure to inspire kids to go out and observe the creatures crawling in their own backyards!
