Summary: This book is highly engaging and awesome for some of your kids that aren't as into informational books. It is jam packed with information but is presented in a fun way. The bugs are matches up to see who would win in a little big bracket. The books tells you which bug would win and why. The why is supported by facts about the bugs usually related to a specific structure or skill the bug has.

In Class: This book would be a great addition to a life science unit. It is the best example of how organisms use their structures to survive. It is very engaging and would make a fun interactive read aloud. You could have students separate to pick who they thought would win. ( )

This book is loaded with fun facts about sixteen different bugs. It is formatted in a tournament bracket style where two bugs are matched up against each other and the one with better survival skills wins. The author presents readers with a lot of facts about each bug and the illustrations are very lifelike so readers can imagine the events. This book may be overwhelming if read in one sitting as there are a lot information given to students. I think this would be a good book for students that have a strong interest in bugs or introducing the idea of characteristics and comparing organisms whole class. ( )
