(4) K-3 Deadly and Incredible Animals series. This book opens with an introduction to insects and arachnids, behaviors and features of these creatures, and threats. Ten species are then profiled on busy double-page spreads. Each spread includes a labeled photo, a smattering of information, and a fact list ("Predators," "Lifespan," "Distribution," etc.). The text is accessible, and the large captioned photos are engaging, but the frenetic design may prove overwhelming for less-confident readers. Glos., ind.
