The Beetle Book by Steve Jenkins Houghton Mifflin, 2012 32 pages
If you lined up every living thing on the planet, one of every four would be a beetle. Amazing, huh? Just like this book, which gives readers a detailed look at these creatures. You can find out what makes a beetle a beetle, the parts of a beetle, and the unique qualities of beetles (e.g. the forest fire beetle has special heat sensors that can detect fires more than 20 miles away!). You can find out about the smallest beetle (size of a period), the largest beetle (big as a hand), what beetles eat, how they talk, and their fighting strategies. Illustrations in this book are bright, colorful, and as detailed as the text, making it a great choice for Six-Traiters (not Traitors!).
