Children will delight in the vivid, realistic illustrations and lively narratives that provide insight into the behaviour and characteristics of an amazing variety of mini monsters – from the detailed illustration of the Sawyer Beetle’s eye, to a step-by-step story depicting the way in which a Hissing Cockroach escapes from predators.

The books feature easy-to-follow text and are illustrated throughout with bright, stunning full-colour artworks. Each double-page spread provides a close-up look at one type of insect, including maps and information boxes designed to enhance the learning experience.
