A simplified field guide to insects plus bug magnifier jar from PBS Kids encourages kids to explore and better understand the world around them.<BR><BR>The clear, simple field guide is designed for a young audience with large pictures and minimal text highlighting the most interesting things to notice about the most common insects in North America--ones that kids would easily find in their own backyard or local park. Packaged with a bug magnifier jar, the book also highlights features and behaviors they should observe if they've captured a particular bug. Of course, there are detailed instructions on how to safely, carefully place an insect in the jar, and then release it after observing--along with plenty of warnings about which stinging insects should not be bothered. In addition, the guide suggests fun, educational activities such as building an ant farm, a butterfly house, and a caterpillar cocoon. This is an excellent tool for budding naturalists.
