Little Busybodies: The Life of Crickets, Ants, Bees, Beetles, and Other Busybodies

And we who wrote this book? Well, we, too, have been children. We used to climb trees and turn somersaults; why—But that is another story! And we remember so well what it used to be like to have to learn dull things we did not wish to know. So we said to ourselves, as we looked over our spectacles at each other, “No, they sha’n't be told a single uninteresting fact; they sha’n't be dull, poor dears, as we were so long ago, before we put on spectacles and began to call ourselves wise.”

The stories in this book are written in a narrative fashion- to peak the interest of the reader.  The book contains 16 short stories that teach a great deal of information about the insect world.

The illustrations are superb and would make excellent clip-art.
