[Miss Sarah · Rating 3 out of 5]

A preschool nonfiction book about the insect praying mantises including it's habits and how it got it's name.

[Professor · Rating 3 out of 5]

A science book about Praying Mantises. MicroMort picked it but doesn't pick it to read very often, though he did seem to enjoy it; I'm always reluctant to pick it as one of our bedtime stories. Seems like a solid little science book for children interested in bugs.

My son loves the Insect World books by Mari Schuh and this one is no exception. He's checked it out from the library a few times.
