Crabtree Publishing Company, 1994. The table of contents and index make it simple to locate data on the metamorphosis, senses, coloration, and behaviour of the insects. Each page has at least one vividly coloured photograph. Great attention is given to detail and to the way colour is used. Photographs have coloured frames, page numbers are encased in moth shapes, charts have shaded backgrounds, and headlines change colour.
Illustrations add more to the rainbow effect and balance each page.
Non-readers would receive much enjoyment from the visual presentation. The final page in the book gives an explanation of the importance of each insect photograph. This gives students an opportunity to use another tool to search for information. It also prevents the pages from becoming unbalanced or cluttered with print. Bobbie Kalman's non-fiction books are always a welcome addition to our Information Centres at the elementary level.
