What to Expect When You're Expecting Larvae: A Guide for Insect Parents (And Curious Kids) (Expecting Animal Babies)

 What to Expect When You're Expecting Larvae: A Guide for Insect Parents by Bridget Heos is a delightful non-fiction book about insect development.  The book is presented in question and answer format and covers all the questions that a kid could ask about insect eggs and babies.

This is an entertaining non-fiction book that kids will enjoy.  It is written in a way that is easy to understand and difficult vocabulary words are defined for the reader and there is also a glossary at the end of the book.  The illustrations are cute and inviting for young readers.

Appropriateness:  I was not able to find any reading level information on the book but it seems like it would be around a late second grade level.  It would work as a read aloud for younger students.  I would look for this book at your local library.
