They may be small, but they live remarkable lives. This wonderfully illustrated book introduces young readers to spiders, butterflies, worms, snails, and even the world’s heaviest insect, the Little Barrier Island giant weta. Filled with fun facts, children also learn through interactive quizzes, detailed seek-and-find scenes, and hands-on activities, like how to make a snail terrarium.
