Workman Publishing Wicked Bugs (Young Readers Edition): The Meanest,
Book SynopsisDid you know there are zombie bugs that not only eat other bugs but also inhabit and control their bodies? There’s even a wasp that delivers a perfectly-placed sting in a cockroach’s brain and then leads the roach around by its antennae — like a dog on a leash. Scorpions glow in ultraviolet light. Lots of bugs dine on corpses. And if you want to know how much it hurts to get stung by a bullet ant (hint: it really, really hurts), you can consult the Schmidt Sting Pain Index. It ranks the pain produced by ants and other stinging creatures. How does it work? Dr. Schmidt, the scientist who created it, voluntarily subjected himself to the stings of 150 species. Organized into thematic categories (Everyday Dangers, Unwelcome Invaders, Destructive Pests, and Terrible Threats) and featuring full-color illustrations by Briony Morrow-Cribbs, Wicked Bugs is an educational and creepy-cool guide to the worst of the worst of insects, arachnids, and other arthropods. This is the young readers adaptation of Amy Stewart’s bestselling book for adult readers.Trade Review“Amy Stewart's young readers edition of her New York Times bestseller is at once fascinating, entertaining, informative and horrifying.” —The Buffalo News “Horrifyingly informative.” —Kirkus Reviews “Sure to thrill budding entomologists . . . This accessible, middle-grade version of Wicked Bugs combines science, anthropology and history with a powerful yuck-factor. It's sure to be a hit with even the most reluctant readers—just be prepared for some serious goose bumps and skin tingles along the way.” —Shelf Awareness “Budding entomologists and kids who marvel in the truly awe-inspiring, sometimes hair-raising, and gross natural world will be in heaven.” —School Library Journal “Reluctant readers will be drawn in. The writing is lively and fun . . . A bug-lover’s delight.” —San Francisco Book Review “The organization is tidy and intuitive, the scope is impressive, the entry length is ideal, and the content is itchingly disturbing.” —The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

Cameron & Company Inc Am I Even a Bee?
Book SynopsisAm I Even a Bee? is the story of Osmia, a solitary bee, decidedly green and unquestionably un-fuzzy. Osmia has always believed she is a bee, (her mom told her so), but recent run-ins with people, and even other insects, leave her wondering, “Am I even a bee?!” Confused, Osmia faces an identity crisis, and she turns to her meadow for comfort. It is here that she meets her new friend and guide Xyla, a carpenter bee who, like Osmia, does not fit the black-and-yellow social mold. Through some adventures and chance encounters, Osmia and Xyla meet a slew of non-honey bees, each special and important to the meadow in their own unique way. Osmia discovers that while fame is great, diversity and acceptance are essential to a happy ecosystem. As it turns out, there is no one way to be a bee!Trade Review"Muth presents ideas to children in an appealing, sometimes amusing way. While a few of Lindauer’s colorful, double-page pictures include fanciful elements related to the story, the bees and flowers are illustrated with accuracy as well as vitality and grace." - Booklist, Starred Review by Carolyn Phelan, March 2022"It's lovely to read a charming and fun book to my grandchildren that informs them about Nature and is a step towards making them good stewards of our planet Earth." - Isabella Rossellini, farmer/filmmaker "Am I Even a Bee? is the endearing tale of a confused little bee, a celebration of the wonderful diversity of life, and, perhaps, a parable for human society." – Professor Dave Goulson, Silent Earth "Am I Even a Bee? is a playful and vibrant introduction to the diverse array of colors, shapes, sizes, and habits of the native bee world. I loved it!" – Jessica Rykken, Entomologist, Denali National Park"A gentle, empathetic story about belonging while bee-ing different, adorably illustrated by Alexa Lindauer, that will leave young readers in love with the natural diversity of real bees." - Professor Alex Wild, world-renowned insect photographer, Curator of Entomology at The University of Texas at Austin
