Description: This elegantly illustrated book explains stage by stage in easy text how a wasp nest is built. It follows by days and weeks and shows how the queen's industrious workers create a sturdy, weatherproof home. Readers see the inside of the growing nest where the eggs turn into larvae and emerge 20 days later as juveniles. As the nest gets bigger and the story progresses, the book's pages become bigger too. Cross sections show the amazing construction of the nest and how the wasps live and work. The interior pages in A Wasp Builds a Nest are shingled, starting as a partial page and getting larger as the story progresses.
Notes: "See inside a paper wasp's nest and watch it grow"--Cover.
