About

This book is composed of selections from Alexander Teixeira de Mattos’ Translation of Fabre’s ā€œSouvenirs Entomologiques,ā€ retold for children. It's made up of first-person narratives, and using his exceptional observation skills, gives us a close-up peep into the world of insects, including bees, wasps, worms, beetles, moths, and spiders, to name a few. When Fabre first published this work, as the Preface indicates, he was criticized by some scientists in his field for writing a scientific book that was "too interesting." - Summary by Devorah Allen
