description: May 17: I was born today! It's a beautiful sunny spring day! This is the diary of P. Mantis one of 150 brothers and sisters born on a garden bush. P. Mantis is an amazing insect: she can make herself look like a stick to hide from predators she can swivel her head all the way around and when she's grown up she'll even be able to fly! Told in dated entries P. Mantis describes the entirety of her life sharing the fun and beauty of her world as well its little ups and downs. ( I ate one of my brothers. Okay maybe two. ) My Awesome Summer by P. Mantis introduces young children to the life cycle of a familiar insect.
