Roly-Polies: Backyard Bugs and Creepy-Crawlies (Engaging Readers, Level 1) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781778787089)

Roly-polies aren't bugs at all-they're tiny crustaceans related to crabs and lobsters! They roll into a ball to stay safe and to keep their bodies moist. Roly-polies eat dead plants and help make soil healthy for growing new ones. Find out how they drink, where they hide, and why they can turn blue!

Level 1 readers are aimed at children who are starting to recognize common words and are capable of sounding out unfamiliar words. Short, simple sentences help guide the reader through new concepts and ideas.
