Ever been tempted by the thought of trying juicy deep fried mealworms, protein-rich cricket flower, or swapping your potato chips for salt and vinegar flavored grasshoppers? If so then you are not alone! Over 2 billion people regularly eat insects as part of their diet, and the world is home to around 1900 edible insect species. For adventurous foodies and daring dieters comes the newest way to save the planet, eat more protein, and tickle taste buds. But this isn't an insect cookbook (though it does contain a few recipes). Instead it's an informative field guide: exploring the origins of insect eating, offering tips on finding edible bugs and serving up a few delicious ideas of how to eat them once you've tracked them down!

This amazing book utilizes real-size photographs to teach young learners about different animals. Instead of using words alone to explain the appearance and size of mammals, amphibians, reptiles, fish, and birds, this book conveys information about scale and proportion with accurately-sized photographs. Simple, leveled text helps readers access this information and build vocabulary.
