I love this book. Kneidel knows lots about insects and other "creepy crawlies". She tells you where to find them, how to keep them, and most important, how to learn more about them. She introduces the scientific method in a natural way that makes sense for children. Kneidel shows how to devise experiments based on the questions that inevitably arise when children observe critters. 

This book is a must-have for elementary school teachers and for parents struggling to help their children select a science fair project and perform scientific experiments.
