Are You a Beetle?
Did you know the six-spotted tiger beetle is one of around 400,000 types of beetle in the world? It is bright metallic green and, like the tiger, it has sharp and very powerful jaws!

This colorful first nature picture book, written by Judy Allen and illustrated by Fiona Osbaldstone, gives children aged 4 to 7 an inside look at the everyday life of a beetle.

Ideal for reading aloud or as a first reader, the detailed illustrations bring this familiar creature to life in a truly memorable way. Children will discover where the mother beetle buries her eggs, how the egg hatches into a tiny caterpillar, how the adult beetles grab passing ants and spiders to eat from the safety of their burrow, and much more. They will learn about beetle life cycles and behavior, and the witty, interactive text will encourage them to explore the similarities and differences between themselves and these fascinating animals.

And if you love insects, why not collect all ten titles in the Backyard Books series?
