The True Book for That Car Splat

My eleven-year-old insect lover says, "I loved the pictures of the splat of the insect. Very Creative on 'Fun Stuff to Do with and Insect.'"

Great Purchase!

This is a fun book that is great for kids and adults alike. The author does a great job relating information in a fun way, with all kinds of activities suggested. Even better, the illustrations in the book are unbelievable. A must read!

A book to share with others

It took a while to convince our librarian to buy the book for the collection, but once the book arrived it made the rounds through the staff members before reaching the public shelves. Also, I gave it as a birthday gift to a friend who just bought a motorcycle.The book is quite a novelty. For someone who enjoys animal behavior, this was an unusual way to learn. For children, not only are the "ewh, gross" splat plates interesting, but Hostetler has included some activites and games to keep them busy.
