Starters: Mini Beasts

This book introduces young children to the fascinating world of minibeasts found in a common garden, including spiders, butterflies, and snails, and explores the process of metamorphosis. The nearly square format makes it easy for children to handle, and it features bright color photographs, a contents page, a combined glossary and index, and captions to aid in understanding non-fiction organizational features. It is vetted by literacy and science consultants. The book also engages new readers' curiosity about various topics like the composition of the moon, reasons for losing teeth, and chocolate production, all made accessible through colorful photos and an illustrated glossary. In this innovative series, the reader joins Ellie on a minibeast hunt and discovers all about the habitats and life cycles of ladybirds, butterflies, dragonflies, spiders, and snails.
