From the dust jacket:

ABOUT INSECTS is a thoughtful first glimpse into the world of nature for young children. In this easy-to-read, informative follow-up to her critically acclaimed books ABOUT BIRDS, ABOUT MAMMALS, and ABOUT REPTILES, author and teacher Cathryn Still explains what insects are, how they live, and what they do.

With the help of beautifully detailed paintings from noted wildlife illustrator John Sill, ABOUT INSECTS explains the basic characteristics that all insects share, while offering a close look at a few of the many animals in this diverse category. An afterword provides further detail about the insects portrayed to inspire young readers to learn more.

ABOUT INSECTS will accurately answer the first questions of young naturalists and will charm readers with the wonder and diversity of insects.
