Bloodsucking Creatures
When we think of bloodsuckers, we often imagine vampires like Count Dracula in scary movies, but what about the real bloodsuckers that creep, crawl, and fly all over the world? Mosquitoes love to feed on human blood. Vampire bats fly out of their caves for a late night meal. Fleas like to crawl between the hairs of dogs and cats for a bloody snack. Readers will learn all about these bloodthirsty animals in this book, and which ones might be coming for them.
* Reviews *
Aimed at reluctant readers, these titles are sure to disgust and delight in equal measure. The attention-getting topics are explored using gory facts and stomach-turning details and range from fun to terrifying, depending on the topic. If readers can stomach the army ants and potato-sized termite queen found in Insects, then it will be the potential future scenarios in Space that will keep them up at night. All of the titles will pique interest and get kids lining up at the reference desk looking for more. The text is complemented by illustrations and magnified photos of things that you would hope never to see., School Library Journal April 2011
