Publisher's Synopsis
Art and science come together in this connecting-the-dots look at such creepy-crawlies as: - the bulldog ant which lives in Australia and feeds on flower nectar - the cat flea, capable of jumping about 200 times its own body length - the cicada killer, big black-and-yellow wasps that build nests in dry sand Each of these 48 insects gets two pages: one is devoted entirely to a nice large dot-to-dot puzzle that shows every spindly leg, wing and antenna. The facing page features fabulous nature facts such as the creature's scientific name, size, food source, habitat and colouring. Plus! there is a second smaller illustration of each insect and other really cool information: for example, that the green darner dragonfly can fly at 35 miles per hour! * Over 48 dot-to-dot drawing puzzles. * Guaranteed to appeal to all small boys and girls fascinated by bugs. * Art activities combining fun with learning: each spread features real hard facts and information about the natural world.
