A little about the story
A schoolbook about the small creatures children can find for themselves: flies, ants, beetles, crabs, sea creatures and more. Julia McNair Wright explains how they look, how they live and why they matter, in a friendly, talking-to-you style.
It was written to send children outdoors to look closely at nature, and it still does that job well.
