Keeping Stick Insects Paperback Dorothy Floyd

Dorothy Floyd's Keeping Stick Insects is a primer for those looking to practice entomology as a hobby. The slim book (only 60 pages plus illustrations) contains a great deal of information on both stick insects and insects in general. Jason Davis' illustrations are clear and easy to understand. The writing style, however, is very much of its time, complete with questions the author poses and then answers in an unintentionally hilarious manner. The book is suitable for older children and could still work as a resource in science classrooms. It has a dedication on the front page and a slight tear at the top of the front cover. See photos.
