This title is part of a series that is designed to support children's investigations into life processes in the local environment. The series focuses on familiar minibeasts so that children are able to go into a garden or school grounds and research the bugs themselves, so reinforcing learning. The aim of the series is to demonstrate that: animals move, feed, grow, use their senses and reproduce; that living things can be grouped according to observable similarities and differences and that there are different kinds of animals in the local environment.
