Science Series: Insects & Spiders

Description

It's a bug's life on Insects and Spiders. Great for introducing your 4- to 9-year-olds to the creepy crawly things in the world, Insects looks at how cool the land of entomology really is. With titles like "Ants in My Pants," "Pass the Honey, Please," and "Fireflies, Won't You Come Out Tonight?" (sung to the tune of "Buffalo Gals, Won't You Come Out Tonight?"), Insects does a good job of explaining "What Is an Insect?" and notes the differences between "Millipedes and Centipedes." A clever song about butterflies ("What a Change") and one about mosquitoes ("What Kind of Mouth Do You Have?") do the insect world proud. And there's even one tune about the spider, to help nip any arachnophobia in the bud. --Martin Keller
