Ages 4 to 8 years.Insects live all over the world and are food for many animals, including other insects! Children will be fascinated to learn about the many ways these tiny creatures defend themselves against predators. Well-written text, full-colour photographs, and clearly labelled illustrations help children discover: The senses insects use to avoid predators; How insects bite and sting to defend themselves; How insects blend in with their surroundings in order to remain unnoticed; How the brightly coloured bodies of some insects warn predators to stay away.
