MosquitoesThe New Creepy Crawly Collection is a fact-packed series about insects and other tiny creatures. Each volume features "icky" creepy crawlies that will pique the interest and, perhaps, win the hearts of curious young readers. Working from a tantalizing, close-up perspective, the books present the physical characteristics of the little creatures, as well as their habitats, social relationships, eating habits, life spans, and importance to humans. |
