Animals

From beetles to flies, termites to mantises, meet the creepy, crawly critters that make up some of the world’s estimated thirty million insect species!\nThe Little Book of Insects, part of the Little Library of Natural History, introduces kids to some of the world’s most common types of insects with details about their habitats, diets, behaviors, and more. Insects play an important role in the world around us. After all, they are a major source of food for animals, they help pollinate plants, and they even aerate the soil. They might just be the hardest working creatures on the planet!\nGorgeous vintage artwork by some of the world’s most enduring nature illustrators fill this irresistible volume.\nFrom the book:\nThe beetles that we see today have been around for 230 million years. They make up the largest group of living organisms on earth and are found worldwide (except for polar regions). There are three distinct features to look for when identifying a beetle. First, its wing coverings are on its back; these covers, called elytra, look like a hard shell. Next, look for chewing mouthparts, or mandibles, on the underside of its head. Yes, beetles chew their food! Lastly, beetles have six legs spread out between their front and back body segments. If you count a number other than six for legs, then your bug is not a beetle!

From the book: 
Perhaps no North American animal is quite as impressive up close as a fullyantlered bull moose. Moose (Alces alces) are the largest members of the deer family and are often six to seven feet tall at the shoulders. Including the head and antlers, they can tower ten feet high, stretch eight to ten feet in length, and weigh up to 1,800 pounds―in other words, they’re huge! With a long, homely face and a droopy upper lip, a moose’s face looks rather like a horse’s (they’re not related). Since they have such long, lanky legs, moose appear to be walking on stilts, giving them a clumsy appearance. But don’t be fooled―they can run up to thirty-five miles per hour and can easily run you down. These animals don’t mind the cold, even extreme cold, though they do get hot and bothered by warm temperatures. Since moose easily overheat, their range is limited to colder, more northerly places.

From the book: 
The name flamingo originates with the Spanish and Latin word flamenco, meaning “fire.” Their bright-colored feathers are not only glamorous, but the bold, pink color comes from a flamingo’s food. Similar to ibis, flamingos feed on algae and crustaceans that have carotenoid pigments. The pigments, once ingested, create a flamingo’s pink coloring. However, a flamingo’s color doesn’t come at birth. Several years must pass before they reach peak color and grow their distinctive curved bills. Flamingos are incredibly social birds; they congregate in a flock called a flamboyance and are always near bodies of water. Here, flamingos find mates for life and begin families with one egg per year.

From the book: 
There are certain seashells that are simply iconic, and the shell of the conch snail is just that! This predatory marine gastropod has a medium to large colorful, ornate shell and a high, curled spire. Some varieties also have knobbed spines on top and a flared and thick outer lip. Though rare, a conch can sometimes even produce pearls inside its shell. Depending on the environment, the pearls might be pink, white, brown, or even orange. These amazing creatures can live around thirty years and can be both herbivorous and carnivorous, depending on the type. Even with their strong, thick shells, the conch can still fall prey to other snails, who bore a hole through the shell, and to various species of octopus.

Kids, amaze your friends, confound your enemies, and impress your professors with 200 NEW spells, curses, jinxes, and other incantations. 
Each spell comes with a detailed pronunciation guide and diagram for how to wave your wand, plus hilarious warnings on what can, uh, go wrong. 
For example: 
REGINASINGA: A handy jinx to make one involuntarily hum “God Save the Queen” every time they see the Union Jack or a member of the royal family. This was a very popular jinx during Victorian times, but it grew a bit tedious for royals who had to hear it if they stuck out so much as a nose in public. 
VERSASEMPRA: For all eternity, for all time, this spell will make one speak in rhyme. Potentially useful, but the side effects are most unpleasant―especially when it forces one to say things like “How do you do? You smell just like poo.” 
Add these 200 spells to your Harry Potter favorites and win every duel! 
Warning: For magical folk only. Do not attempt if you prefer airplanes over brooms or if owls make you sneeze.\nFrom the Back Cover\nAmaze your friends, confound your enemies, and impress your professors with 200 Spells, an enchanting collection of 200 NEW spells, curses, jinxes, and other incantations for kids.
