The Nature Kid's Guide to Beetles: A Level 2 Reader for Curious Young Kids Who Love Beetles!, (Paperback)

Boom! A tiny beetle aims and blasts boiling-hot spray at a predator. The attacker leaps back. It's a bombardier beetle, and it's just getting started.<p></p><p>If your child thinks beetles are just backyard bugs, this book is about to blow their mind. One in every four animal species on Earth is a beetle. They navigate by starlight, shoot chemical explosions from their bodies, run so fast they temporarily go blind, and can lift 850 times their own weight.</p><p></p><p><strong>"The Nature Kid's Guide to Beetles"</strong> takes curious kids ages 7-12 on an incredible journey through the world's most diverse group of animals. Why do fireflies glow with no heat? How do dung beetles use the Milky Way to travel in a straight line? What makes a bombardier beetle's spray as hot as boiling water? Your child will devour every answer and want to share them all.</p><p></p><p>Short, punchy sentences and one jaw-dropping fact after another keep young readers turning pages. They'll discover tiger beetles that outrun race cars, Hercules beetles that wrestle rivals off branches, jewel beetles that shimmer like flying rainbows, and diving beetles that carry their own built-in scuba tanks.</p><p></p><p><strong>A book for kids who love creepy crawlies and the young naturalists who are about to become them.</strong></p><p></p><p>Beetles have been on Earth for over 300 million years. They outlasted the dinosaurs. They're in every forest, desert, pond, and backyard on the planet. Once your child discovers just how extraordinary they are, they'll never look at a beetle the same way again.</p><p></p><p><em>Thousands of young readers have explored the Nature Kids Guide series.
