Creepy Critters: A Pop-up Book of Creatures That Jump, Crawl, and Fly

Bold, oversize pop-ups in eye-catching colors introduce six bugs: a ladybug, bee, grasshopper, spider, beetle, and cockroach. An opening section provides background, differentiating between insects, arachnids, myriapods, and crustaceans, while sidebars and multiple captions offer numerous details about each specimen. The many fascinating facts that arise—“Beetles make up more than 25 percent of all animal species on Earth,” and a “cockroach can live without its head for several weeks because its brain is spread around its body”—will arm budding entomologists with juicy kernels of trivia. Ages 4–8. (Mar.)
