Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature - Carrie Hane Hung
The insect world's vampire, or the mosquito, is the featured invertebrate in this text from the "No Backbone! The World of Invertebrates" series. As you read about this pesky, little insect known for its bites with its beak, you will also find out that not all mosquitoes feast on blood. View the close-up, color photographs that show the mosquito captured in action. Learn about the life of a mosquito and view snapshots of its different life stages: egg; larva; pupa; and adult. Some students may need guidance with the content vocabulary along with the informational text features such as the table of contents, captions and index. Those students itching to explore more information about mosquitoes may find the additional book titles and the publisher website helpful in their research. The website includes a simple crossword puzzle along with unlabeled portals to different websites about mosquitoes. To read about other insects, check out the other books in the series to include in a unit of study about insects. Reviewer: Carrie Hane Hung
