You must decide which books will be appropriate for your children. Now, let s start with some general reference books. This guide has details on identifying the insects, where the insects are located, how many species there are, and its size. There is even a small symbol on the page to indicate if the insect bites or not. What I liked about this guide was the actual photographs of each insect featured in the guide.
