About This Book
Reach for this book when your child expresses a mix of fascination and fear toward the 'creepy' creatures they find in the backyard or in movies. It is the perfect tool for a parent who wants to bridge the gap between a child's instinctive 'yuck' reaction and their natural scientific curiosity, helping them see the world through a lens of wonder rather than worry. This accessible nonfiction guide introduces young readers to the secret lives of scorpions, explaining their habitats, hunting habits, and physical traits through vibrant photography and clear text. By focusing on the scorpion's role in the ecosystem, the book builds a sense of bravery and respect for nature. It is perfectly leveled for early elementary students who are beginning to transition into independent reading but still benefit from visual support.
