Cockroaches

Children's Literature - Wendy Pollock-Gilson

Yuck! There are over 4,000 species of cockroaches around the world and fifty-seven of the known species live in the United States. Despite it's being about people's least favorite bugs, this is a well-done book and a strong addition to an insect collection. Information on the habitat, life cycle, behaviors, and unique characteristics of cockroaches is presented clearly with full color photographs. Librarians and teachers will appreciate the extensive additional learning resources page and the carefully noted index.
