What? This book provides exciting facts about a wide range of insects and bugs along with fun and creative crafts that match the insect just learned. One page, for instance, will give facts about a fly's eyes and the next page gives step-by-step directions on creating a goggle-eye fly.

So What? This means that students can take what they learn about insects and apply it in a creative and fun way.

Now What? I will use this book in an art center to reinforce a student's knowledge about insects. I will provide the materials and a model with the step-by-step directions and allow students to kinetically apply their knowledge.
