In the pages of this book, you’ll find a workshop filled with everything you need, including a head, a thorax, an abdomen, and much more.

 From School Library Journal 
K-Gr 4-Insect anatomy, basic body parts, and their purpose are detailed in this picture book. Insect body parts are introduced, and then compared and contrasted to human bodies. Gibson, who is an entomologist, explains new vocabulary and the science involved in how the insects' bodies work. The attractive illustrations complement the text very well and add humor; each concept is easy to understand and is smoothly applied to the next concept. On one page, the titles on a child's bookshelf include A Bug's Life Cycle and How To Bug Your Family. Gibson and Lambelet provide a fun, instructional easy reader text and a science project for children. The back matter, which consists of a glossary and a large diagram of an insect's body parts, also contains a more in-depth section on insect body parts that is accessible to fourth-grade readers. VERDICT A must-buy for elementary school and public libraries.-Nancy Call, formerly at Santa Cruz P.L., Aptos, CAα(c) Copyright 2011.

Entering with a jar of heads is no Dr. Frankenstein, but rather a brown-skinned boy who's ready to help readers make an insect. While the short, simple text speaks directly to readers, the boy's hands do the building. Author and entomologist Gibson begins with basic insect parts (head, thorax, and abdomen) and continues with more anatomy, from exoskeleton, legs, and antennae to wings, spiracles, and decorations (spots, spikes, horns). Guided questions focus the building process and point out differences between insects and other animals as well as within their class. For instance, crickets have ears on their knees, and caterpillars chew with mandibles while butterflies sip with a proboscis. The large-scale, textured illustrations depict a variety of insects and their anatomy in more detail. A concluding section features a double-page diagram of an insect and more information about each body part as well as directions for making an insect out of art supplies. An ideal book for turning STEM into STEAM."―Booklist\n"While ostensibly giving instructions on creating a 3-D insect replica, art and text teach the rudiments of entomology. The initial double-page spread shows a dark room cluttered with cleaning supplies, a small drafting table, and scientific paraphernalia including a full-len

My story is about what can happen when a family is dysfunctional. It covers my experiences as a child. When my father left us, I found myself confused, struggling with his absence, wondering when he would return. This begins a snowball effect in my life. I find myself in detention and foster homes, all the while trying to understand the things that were happening to me. Because of my situation, I rejected God, but it wasn't until I returned to Him that I was able to quit struggling and find inner peace. Through my relationship with God, I was able to forgive those whom I felt wronged me. And now, although I still don't have an understanding of why those things happened, I have been able to find closure to my awful past. Through the help of God, it is my prayer that this book will help and encourage others who are going through similar circumstances. There is help for all. The source is God. He loves you and He wants to make a difference in your life. He is waiting with open arms for you to strengthen and to seek Him out.I encourage you to go to Church, and learn the truth of God's Love and His Son Jesus Christ. You truly will be glad that you did. I'm a witness to the change that it will bring into your life. Without Him, this book would not have been possible.
