This book is a non-fiction texts that teaches students about insects in the winter months. Insects leave in the fall and magically return in the spring it seems. This book unveils the secrets of how bugs survive the winter season.
The illustrations are created by Robert C. Kray, and recreate the insects to show how they move from place to place and how they look during these cold winter months. He paints these pictures in acrylic to cause the pictures to look very realistic and almost three-dimensional.
This book contains lots of great information that would be very fascinating for students to learn. This information presents students with scientific data that could otherwise be taught to them in a boring approach. This topic is really never covered for students, and this book gives really interesting facts as well as science experiments in the back of the book.
