The Insects series supports national science standards on units on the diversity and unity of life. The series shows that animals have features that help them live in different environments. This book describes praying mantises and illustrates their parts and habits. The photographs support early readers in understanding the text. The repetition of words and phrases helps early readers learn new words. This book also introduces early readers to subject-specific vocabulary words, which are defined in the Words to Know section. Early readers may need assistance to read some words and to use the Table of Contents, Words to Know, Read More, Internet Sites, and Index/Word List sections of the book.
Creepy, crawly and sometimes not very pretty, earth is home to nearly one million species of insects and these books will introduce kids to some of the more common ones. Helen Frost has written six new books (Cicadas, Moths, Praying Mantises, Walkingsticks, Wasps and Water Bugs) to add to the Pebble Books series entitled "Insects." The book opens with a table of contents, followed by a description of praying mantises using simple declarative sentences. Next, Frost presents some interesting facts that differentiate praying mantises from other insects. For example, some praying mantises eat their mates. The book is full of excellent photographs with labels as appropriate to point out body parts and features. It also contains a list of words to know with definitions, which are written at a higher level than the text, but they do provide additional useful information. There is an up-to-date mini-bibliography, a list of Internet sites and an index. The books support national science standards relating to diversity and unity of life. 2001, Pebble Books/Capstone, $13.25. Ages 5 to 7. Reviewer: Marilyn Courtot
