Cockroaches aren’t picky eaters. They’ll eat soap, paper, glue, plants, dead animals, and even paint. With such wide-ranging appetites, it’s no wonder these pesky insects have been around since before the time of the dinosaurs. These are just some of the surprising facts children will discover as they explore the fascinating world of these hungry creatures. Large, eye-popping photos and clear, grade-appropriate text will engage emergent readers as they learn about the natural habitat, physical characteristics, diet, and behavior of this unique invertebrate.

Hungry Cockroaches

Most spreads consist of a full-page sharp, color close-up of one or more of the featured insects facing five short sentences of text. In some sections, smaller photos of body parts, egg cases, etc., also appear. The images are remarkably detailed, showing, for example, wing membranes and individual hairs, on larvae and adult bodies. The titles briefly describe a few traits of insects, some distinctive physical and behavioral characteristics of the featured animal, diet, natural enemies, and life cycles, but each has a slightly different emphasis. Mosquitoes focuses on the females’ need to consume blood, and names some diseases spread by bites; Praying Mantises concentrates on the creatures’ unusual physiology and their effective hunting techniques; Cockroaches emphasizes eating habits and speed. Leaf-shaped sidebars offer miscellaneous information; a one-page appendix includes general facts about invertebrates and photos of four related bugs.
