Learn how insects help the environment in this Level G science book that’s perfect for new readers!

The girl in this story loves insects–how they look, how they sound, and how they move. Her friend does not like insects–especially when they sting. But together they explore her backyard and observe how insects are helpful to flowers, birds, and even humans!

This science book was written for first graders to read on their own. With beautiful and accurate illustrations, vetted by an expert member of the invertebrate zoology staff of the American Museum of Natural History.

For early-to-mid first grade readers, Level G books feature more complex storylines than prior levels, and a wider variety of structure and punctuation. Illustrations offer support for decoding the more challenging vocabulary words introduced.

The books in the award-winning I Like to Read series are especially
created for new readers and are leveled using Fountas & Pinnell
standards. Acclaimed author-illustrators–including winners of
Caldecott, Theodor Seuss Geisel, and Coretta Scott King honors–create
original, high-quality illustrations that support comprehension of
simple text and are fun for kids to read again and again with their
parents, teachers or on their own!
