Hurray…another gorgeous, large-format book by Steve Jenkins.  The stunningly rich and vivid illustrations entice the reader in.  Then you are hooked by the impeccably researched wealth of information.  “Line up every kind of plant and animal on Earth…and one of every four will be a beetle.”  There are even forest fire beetles with special heat-sensors that can detect a fire more than 20 miles away!  Once at the fire area, they lay their eggs in charred wood, now free of predators.  Black silhouettes, on the bottom of the pages, show actual sizes of the beetles on that page.   Atypical back matter includes a list of beetles, and page numbers, Latin names, and locale.  I would say this publication was accessible to a wide audience, however, grandparents, reading to grandchildren may be visually challenged by the teeny hand-written styled font.  You will, certainly, want to get this fact-packed beetle bonanza for your library!
