Creep and Flutter

by Jim Arnosky

This title is suitable for children aged 6 to 10 years old. In his fourth stunning non-fiction picture book, acclaimed naturalist and illustrator Jim Arnosky brings out the beauty, the "wow!" and the "yuck!" factors of hundreds of insects and spiders. Eight spectacular gatefolds show moths and mosquitoes, butterflies and beetles, spiders and silverfish life-size, up-close and personal!

Creepy, but oh so educational.

First off I can tell you both the Enginerd and I agree we would have gone for a different cover image. As a matter of fact he refused to look at it at first because of the spider. But aside from that... This book is very interesting. With large fold-out pages, life-size silhouette and plenty of facts. The illustrations are fascinating and detailed. Overall a great "boy" gift or homeschool science aid.
