About this title

Synopsis

Ladybugs seem like lovely, peace-loving bugs. Your readers probably don’t realize that they are hunters and voracious eaters of another backyard resident—the aphid. Hundreds of unseen battles and interactions are going on in our backyards every day. This book will draw readers in through unique 3-D imagery that casts the stars of the backyard drama in bold relief.

Reviews

Grade 3-4–Big, clear microphotographs, mostly head-on portraits of insects and other creatures, provide the chief draw for these quick looks at common residents of our bodies and homes. Subjects range in size from honeybees and cockroaches to cyanobacteria, and include some unusual choices–such as an amoeba in a shell (or test), and the charmingly named confused flour beetle. Though Bensinger properly notes in Your Body that most staph and E. coli organisms are actually harmless or beneficial, the narratives in general provide only disappointingly abstract introductions to each creature's behavior and habitat.
