Woodlouse

This title is part of a series that is designed to support children's investigations into life processes in the local environment. The series focuses on familiar minibeasts so that children are able to go into a garden or school grounds and research the bugs themselves, so reinforcing learning. The aim of the series is to demonstrate that: animals move, feed, grow, use their senses and reproduce; that living things can be grouped according to observable similarities and differences and that there are different kinds of animals in the local environment. This title provides a simple yet comprehensive view of a woodlouse and covers different types, size, appearance, birth and reproduction, growth, feeding, predators, length of life and movement. The text features "bug maps" and simple questions based on information given in the spreads. Each spread builds on information provided in previous ones.
