About this title

Synopsis

Scientifically sound and charmingly written, this guide to the bugs on your windshield is an unexpected delight. Includes weird and wonderful activities for kids of all ages.

Review

That Gunk on Your Car is a seriously funny book filled with fascinating information about common insects, especially the ones you are most likely to find splattered on your windshield. Chapters are organized around the individual insects--ants, mosquitoes, grasshoppers, butterflies, crickets, midges--and include information on the natural history and life cycles of each and fun things you can do with the insects. That Gunk on Your Car would be an excellent parent/child participatory book: the lively text is easy to read and scientifically accurate.
