This is very nice nonfiction book all about dragonflies. This large book has really nice photographs and a colorful, eye pleasing layout. The book discusses all things concerning dragonflies including their body, life cycle, their hunting, flying and predators. The book has a wealth of information presented in a simple manner kids can understand, such a large section about their lives as nymphs living underwater for the first year of life and that they can fly up to 38 mph (and with some amazing accompanying photographs). The book also has a “Bug-O-Rama” page that tells facts such as dragonflies do not hurt people (even though they bite, we wouldn’t even feel it). I do not have a dragonfly book in my insect section of my library and this will be a great addition.
