I am enjoying this new series of science books for young readers dealing with insects. INSECTS UP CLOSE give amazing photos of the insect in question along with the text in large font. There are usually two sentences per page turn. The sentences have between 4 to 9 words per sentence. The book is divided into three parts : What are Termites?, Life in the Nest, and Growing Up, prior to the small glossary, website, and index.

The reader will see a termite queen, workers, soldiers, and nymphs. There is also a nest with termites and a huge termite nest taller than a person.
