BOOK REVIEW: Bugs, Snakes, Spiders, Crocodiles by Barbara
Taylor, Dr Jen Green, John Farndon and Mark O’Shea
Being a Green Ranger (a volunteer to educate the younger
generation on the environment and how to protect it), I show a keen interest to
any organism that crawls, slithers, flies or just any other insects or
reptiles. Although I have a over-the-board level of arachnophobia (fear of
spiders), I still have a strong fascination to these alien-like albeit graceful
creatures. This comprehensive book on reptiles and insects piqued my curiosity
and I just had to flip through it.
More than 1500 fabulous wildlife photographs and
illustrations provide a stunning close-up view of survival in the wild.
Exciting and accessible information provides an insight into
every aspect of reptile and insect life and behaviour.
Besides that, this fascinating guide includes ‘Did You Know’
features that reveal amazing-but-true facts. For example, female aphids can
give birth to up to 50 young in a week.
To me, this is an ideal book for both home and school study,
and a superb family encyclopaedia. I’m just going to scoot over to the dining
table as an eight-legged creature has stealthily crept up on me and googling me
with its glassy eyes. Ewwwww!
