A book of conformation for me. Very pleased with it.
I am looking forward to making some of the recipes.

A close-up look at two insect contenders
An orchid mantis and an Asian giant hornet provide the focus for a comparison built around habitat, size, and survival skills. The book frames those facts as a clash between the animals, with special attention to their natural defenses. Leveled text and vibrant photographs support the nonfiction presentation, while special features highlight each insect’s “weapons.” The matchup gives the material a clear organizing question: how do these small creatures compete?
