About this set
Ten garden creepy-crawlies — ladybug, butterfly, bee, ant, dragonfly, snail, caterpillar, spider, grasshopper and beetle. Lovely for a spring nature walk: color the page, then go and look for the real thing. Count the legs, wings and spots as you color: insects have six legs, spiders eight — a quick bit of science in every page.
