About this book

This non-fiction book celebrates the wonder of all sorts of invertebrates. Unlike more traditional non-fiction  books, the facts here about invertebrates are conveyed through small verses that include metre and rhyme. The simple chorus that is revisited throughout the book is a clear invitation for children to join in with reading the text aloud. Through a series of detailed illustrations, the reader is guided from place to place in order to draw their attention to the amazing invertebrates that are in the world around us. It’s a non-fiction book that educates, entertains and opens the eyes of children to the wonder of nature.

This is a book that will stimulate interest across the curriculum but especially in the areas of: Science and Technology, Health and Well-being, Humanities, Languages, Literacy and Communication.
