School Library Journal - 04/01/2025 Gr 2–4—Common insects are introduced with basic information and clear photographs. Large text provides a couple of facts per page, covering physical features, behaviors, and life cycles. There's just enough data to convey the most notable characteristics, though details like size and lifespan are not included. Photographs include clear images, mostly full page or half page. Some offer views of various species from around the world. In some cases, close-up photos highlight body parts, such as the abdomen of the honeybee; less useful full-body views are used in other examples, such as the mosquito's thorax and the butterfly's abdomen. Each book includes three or four drawings of a child with a magnifying glass which add little to the otherwise strong visual presentation. VERDICT Solid insect profiles to purchase where more coverage is needed. - Copyright 2025 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
