Rustad because I felt that it was filled with helpful information and pictures that would be interesting to children. I would choose to have this book in my classroom because it has descriptive language that explains both fun facts about insects, as well as a descriptive explanation of the variations in different types of insects. The writing is engaging and the placement of writing on the pages is very visually appealing. The book is written in third person and the book encourages readers to think about their own interactions with insects and the importance of insects in our environment. The pictures in this book are realistic and include labeled parts of insects on each page. The book includes a glossary at the end, as well as information for further reading and discovering. The main purpose of this book is to inform children about different types of insects, their purposes, and their functions as a species. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
