Cicada Symphony by Sue Fliess, illustrated by Gareth Lucas
From their beginnings as nymphs below ground, this exciting adventure shows the cicada life cycle and I love it! Large text shares a narrative story: “To the surface, up they go. No one tells them. They just know. Gripping tight for one last change. Split. Pop! Wriggle. Looking strange.” Smaller text with informational facts peppers the pages, too. “Cicadas can be as noisy as a lawnmower, motorcycle, or chainsaw.” This impressive book will appeal to all readers and parents.

We Dig Worms! by Kevin McCloskey
I love, love, love this early reader book! It’s a Toon Book Early Reader so you know from the get-go that it’s going to be cartoon images, but you won’t know how the author makes worms seem so fascinating.

Silly conversations filled with personality pepper their search as well as lift-the-flaps to learn information about bees. Soon Worm, Snail, and Beetle are almost ready to give up — until they finally find the bees in a field of flowers. To get the bees back to their garden, the bugs collect wildflower seeds and plant them…and the bees come back! Kids will resonate with these charming bugs’ search as well as learn the importance of bees in the world.
Step Gently Out, by Helen Frost and Rick Lieder The tiny insects become magnified in Lieder’s gorgeous close-up photography: an ant dangling off a small green stem, the geometric, translucent wings of a dragonfly, and a bee suspended mid-flight. The poetic verse whispers love for the simpleness of nature.

be still, and watch a single blade of grass.
How to Survive as a Firefly by Kristen Foote, illustrated by Erica Salcedo

See how the root pushes out the shoots and leaves. This is also the story of a caterpillar who hatches from an egg, eats and eats the leaves of the plant, and turns into a beautiful butterfly. You’ll enjoy the enthusiastic, lyrical story which develops several naturalist topics including seed and plant growth and the life cycle of a butterfly in this latest nonfiction picture book in Martin Jenkin’s First Science Storybook series.

BUGS! Animal Planet Amazing Animal Facts Chapter Books by James Buckley, Jr.
What a fantastic beginning chapter book. It’s full-color with photographs, illustrations, and a kid-friendly design. The text size itself is perfect for elementary readers, slightly bigger than typical nonfiction books of this length with decent white space in between the lines and around it. I’m impressed with the way this book series delivers factual information without dumbing it down or making it too difficult to read.
Paint by Sticker Kids Beautiful Bugs I’ve already done one of these myself, they’re so fun! (But I wish my fingers were kid-sized so it would be a bit easier.
) However, these are meant for kids so I suppose I better share… The sticker bugs are like a paint by number only with stickers. Look on the sticker page for the correct number. Then match it to the spot on the bug illustration. The book has perforated pages making tearing out the sticker page and the art easy. Would your kids like this sticker book?

Dragonflies are hunters. They have excellent eyesight. Dragonflies fly like helicopters over water in search of prey. Their prey are small mosquitoes, midges. A large dragonfly attacks smaller dragonflies. Does not disdain a caterpillar.

Top wings for protection. Lower wings for flight. It is necessary for the ladybug to fly, the upper wings rise, the lower ones straighten out, and the beetle flies.
Don't hurt the ladybug. She is a true friend and helper. Pests - aphids - settle on plants in the garden and in greenhouses. Aphids suck juices from leaves. The leaves dry up, curl up and fall off.

Ants
During the warm season, ants can be found everywhere.
They run about their ant affairs back and forth. They seem so small and stupid. In fact, ants are smart insects. Their brain works like a powerful computer. That's what the scientists say.
Ants are strong insects. An ant lifts a load 50 times heavier than itself.
The little ant won't be offended. He sprays the offenders with formic acid. Formic acid is caustic. It even causes burns.

Questions
- What color are the butterflies?
- What size are they?
- What is the body of butterflies covered with?

Mosquito
Guess the riddle: "Grey. With two wings. It flies - it rings. It bites painfully." The mosquito has a mustache and a proboscis on its head. The mosquito makes no sound. The ringing comes from mosquito wings. A mosquito flies, and its wings rattle thinly. It makes a call.
We don't like mosquitoes. A mosquito will sit on a person or animal, pierce the skin with its proboscis and drink the blood. Poisonous mosquito saliva will get under the skin. Because of this poison, the bite site itches for a long time. Mosquitoes fly to heat. In the evenings and at night, warm animals are easier to find. Only mosquitoes bite us. And mosquitoes drink flower nectar. Their proboscis is very thin. They will not bite through thick human skin and animal skin.
Questions
- How many wings does a mosquito have?
- What sound does a mosquito make when it flies?
- Where does this sound come from?
- What do mosquitoes eat?

Short stories about insects for children 5-6 years old
July 11, 2017 ditim Main page » Grandma's archive Views: 5.
384
At the age of 5, the son became so interested in insects that we now collect their figurines and play only with them, we have bugs as pets, while walking we look for and examine different insects, cockroaches and enrolled in the children's library, where we have already studied almost everything books on the subject. Particularly liked photobooks by V. Tanasiychuk , Soviet entomologist. We found only 2 books by this author in the library, pretty shabby, "shaggy" years of release.
In books "Six Legged Neighbors" and "Visiting Insects" you can see realistic photographs and read short stories about insects that will be of interest to children 5-6 years old . Unfortunately, it turned out that it is now impossible to buy these wonderful books for children . Therefore, we scanned them and would like to share our find with you. Read about insects , study them with your children.
It's so cool and exciting!!!
"Visiting Insects", V. Tanasiychuk
LIVING BUS
I sat on the porch in the evening and watched the butterflies circling around the lamp. Suddenly, a beetle plopped down in front of me in the grass - a strange one, covered with some kind of grains. As soon as I managed to photograph him, he took off and disappeared into the forest. And when I developed the film, I saw that there were no grains on it. These are dozens of small mites tightly, tightly clinging to the beetle, and the beetle drove them like a living bus. It would be interesting to know where?
WHAT DO BUTTERFLIES SMELL?
A night butterfly flew into the light of the lamp — beautiful and big, each wing is the size of your palm. She sat down and wiggled her mustache, sniffing if there were any other butterflies nearby. Humans smell through their noses, but butterflies smell through their whiskers. See how big and complex they are.
AMAZING WINGS
Is that also a butterfly? The legs are long, and the wings do not look like wings - thin, hairy and divided into several blades that look like fingers. That is the name of this butterfly - fingerwing.
WHO ate the aphids?
They lived on a branch of aphids, they sucked the juice from it. The branch began to wilt. But then, like a tank, a prickly beast crawled up and ate the aphids. Only a few pieces remain. What kind of animal is this? And this is a ladybug larva. A little time will pass, and it will turn into a red bug with black dots, which you know well.
ROSE
The lacewing flew to the flower. Her wings are large, transparent, they shine with a rainbow, and her eyes shimmer with gold. He sits, looks around - are there any aphids left that the ladybugs did not notice? If he finds it, he will eat them all. A beneficial insect is the lacewing, it protects our fields and gardens.
SILVER FLY
A small, match head-sized fly runs in the grass, also looking for prey.
Her back and belly are covered with silver dust, so they call her silver.
WHY IS THE HEAD FOR A PIPE TURNER?
Tube beetle sits on a branch. His larvae eat the leaves, and he makes edible tube houses for them from the leaves. He twists his paws, and helps with his head - it’s not for nothing that he has such a narrow, long one and moves in all directions. He worked for a long time, he was tired - now he is resting.
TERRIBLE TAILS
A green caterpillar of a harpy butterfly crawls along a willow leaf. Behind, two long tails stick up. You come closer to her - she gets scared, raises her head, twists her tails in the air: don't touch me, I'm scary! And she is afraid. Only she has the protection that these tails, because she does not know how to bite.
BUMPER WITH A BASKET
A fluffy bumblebee flies from flower to flower, drinks flower juice - collects nectar and pollen. Where? In a basket. There are special pits on the hind legs of bumblebees and bees where they put pollen.
Look how much this bumblebee scored! Now it will fly to its nest to feed the larvae.
SHARING WASTE
Ammophila wasp tired of hunting and also sat down to taste the nectar. Black, long-legged, with a thin orange belly, and on the forehead, between the eyes, three more small eyes shine like beads. Not a single caterpillar will hide from this wasp, it will immediately catch it and carry it into a mink as a reserve for its larvae.
WOOD CUTTER BEETLE
Whom you will not meet on the summer meadow! Here a motley, beautiful beetle flew in and sat on a flower. It eats pollen and moves its whiskers. Both he and all his relatives have very long mustaches, which is why these beetles are called barbels. And they are also called lumberjacks, because barbel larvae live in tree trunks.
GROUND BEETLE
Another beetle, a shiny green ground beetle, runs along the ground, gets tangled up in blades of grass and straws.
Why shouldn't she fly? Can't, no wings. They do not occur in beetles.
ROBBER WITH DAGGERS
A horse beetle lurks on a rock. His legs are long, bouncy, and his jaws are like two curved daggers. The horse is sitting, guarding the prey. If he sees a gaping fly or beetle, he will jump, fly, grab. If there were a horse not the size of a fingernail, but the size of a tiger, it would not be more terrible than an animal on earth.
FLUFFY SWEET TOOTH
Through a flower, as through a forest thicket, we make our way through a fluffy wax beetle. This beetle is peaceful, it does not hunt anyone - it eats flowers, chooses the sweetest parts. And his jaws are small, not dangerous to anyone.
BRAVE BEETLE
A beetle deftly climbs a blade of grass - it climbs high. The wind blows, the blade of grass, like a mast, swings, but he holds on. He has special hooks at the ends of his legs for this.
Sixth Neighbors, V.
