Helpful Book of Bugs
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
(written by my 9 year old and authorized by me) This is one of a series of books about animals that I am reading as a project for school. This book gave me information in a quick amount of time but not with impossible to read sentences. The Words To Know section (glossary) helped me to understand words I didn't know so I didn't have to have a dictionary right beside me. If you get confused writing your report, you can find the page on the subject you want to find in the Index. It's nothing special but it is helpful. In the Learning More section (reference), I liked that it had books, videos and websites for more information, not just books. There were wonderful pictures in color that really helped me understand what crickets, grasshoppers and katydids look like. I recommend this book to everybody because if you want to learn more about a North American kind of cricket or grasshopper all you have to do is look in this book for quick but good information.
Great overview for the layman

A short book of just over 40 pages but really great into to these insects! Each page has a big color photo of the cricket/grasshopper being discussed and the opposing page has text about it. The book is broken out into where you're likely to find the particular critter: desert, fields/meadows, woods, your house. Pictures are good and the text is interesting - often caught myeslf saying, "huh. I didn't know that." It might be written more for school kids but this 30+ year old kid learned a bunch :)
