Whether it's the industrious ant, the breathtaking Monarch butterfly, or
the multi-legged centipede, children will discover the fastest,
strongest, and most harmful species in Pocket Genius: Bugs. Profiling
more than 200 insects and bugs, from beetles and butterflies to spiders
and scorpions, find out what bugs eat, which are poisonous, which live
the longest, and which can be found in your own backyard. Plus, learn
about the products we get from bugs, such as honey, ink, silk, and
jewelry, and how bugs and insects play important roles in our world.
Redesigned in paperback, DK's best-selling Pocket Genius series is now

entries packed with facts provide at-a-glance information, while locator
icons offer immediately recognizable references to aid navigation and
understanding, and fact files round off the book with fun facts such as
record breakers and timelines. Each pocket-size encyclopedia is filled
with facts on subjects ranging from animals to history, cars to dogs,
and Earth to space and combines a child-friendly layout with engaging
photography and bite-size chunks of text that will encourage and inform
even the most reluctant readers.
