Wild Style

Kids will love this book! Especially boys!! (You can’t go wrong when poop is involved). The books photographs are bright and interesting. The information is unique and unusual. It’s all about weird and whacky animal adornments used as camouflage. Did you know...

“The assassin bug sucks out the insides of an ant...
It lifts up the ant’s corpse and drops it on its back!
It glues the dead ant to the dozen other corpses
using a sticky substance that it makes itself.
Its backpack gets bigger with each meal...”

I didn’t even know there was a bug called an assassin bug! Have you heard of the Pom Pom crab? Me neither! Find out why they are the cheerleaders of the ocean when you read this book. You will love the interesting photo of their cheer “uniform”.

Kids and adults will be captivated and laugh at these crazy animals. Why does the golden tortoise beetle larva carry a stinky umbrella? And what is it made of? You’ll just have to read it to find out. This book is perfect for K-4th grade.

I received an ARC copy from net galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

A short and sweet book about the various adornments that animals have on their bodies, mostly for attracting mates. Perfect for early or middle grade readers interested in animals.
