[Odonata-l] New Children's Book About Dragonflies

[Kurt Mead]

Linda Glaser, well-known author of natural history books for children, has
just published "Dazzling Dragonflies" through Millbrook Press of
Minneapolis.  Here is my short review of it.

 

Dazzling Dragonflies, the latest Linda Glaser natural history book for
children, nails the basic life-history of dragonflies. This delightful book
uses kid-friendly language without compromising the facts. Illustrator Mia
Posada's images are gorgeous and rich while still paying attention to the
details of these complex insects. Several species are highlighted and there
is an "appendix" at the end with answers to frequently asked questions about
dragonflies (and info on the closely-related damselflies). 
Teachers, naturalists and parents will find this book very useful for
introducing young children to the life-cycle of insects with incomplete
metamorphosis (plus it's a fun read!). 
Tops my list for kids' insect books.

 

The book is available through Amazon, of course, but it is also available
straight from the author by emailing lglaser at cpinternet.com.
