This is an interesting introductory book for young children into the world of insects. It presents a few insects, inside and out! Kids often know what insects look like from the outside, but the insects pictured in this book have their outsides peeled back so we can take a look inside as well.

Some of the things I learned from this book are that the beetle's heart is a long tube that extends all the way down its body, the fly and the butterfly can taste with their feet, and the fly and the caterpillar breathe through holes (called spiracles) on the sides of their body. Who knew?! ( )

This book goes into detail about different parts (internal and external) of various insects. The book would be good for children who are interested in insects, this would inspire them to read. Grade levels include 1-3. ( )
