Here children from six to twelve are introduced to the marvelous world of "bugs"--that great host of hopping, crawling, flying, and buzzing creatures more properly called insects.Youngster can color eye-catching line drawings of many of the most common, as well as unusual, Texas insects--all of them interesting, some of them beneficial, and some, without question, pests. The accompanying easy-to-read text gives important facts about insect lifeways and insects' roles in nature. Interspersed throughout are instructive games and suggested activities. Included, too, is a 17" by 22" coloring poster.
