I’ve noticed several students reading this book during silent reading and thought the rest of the class would like to know about this book too. So, this month’s book recommendation is First Encyclopedia: Bugs. We also have Sea, Cats, and Dogs in this series in the classroom.
Recommended Book for November:
First Encyclopedia: Bugs
This information book features different kinds of arachnids, myriapods, and insects. The large National Geographic quality photographs, easy to read layout, and short paragraphs on the bug’s parts and what they are for makes this book attractive to look at and fun to read.
The book begins by answering, “What is a bug?” and tells us how arachnids, myriapods, and insects are different. Each pagecontains information on interesting and unusual bugs, like “[a]n assassin bug [that] lies in wait before attacking its prey and injecting it with poisonous saliva” and dung beetles that “use animal droppings, which they roll into a ball using their strong legs.” More delicate and less grotesque bugs are also shown, like monarch butterflies and dragonflies.
The book also has a table of contents, a glossary, and an index, and is written at a grade 4 level.
I rate this book 5 stars out of 5.
If you liked Bugs, check out Sea, Dogs, and Cats, which we also have in the classroom.
