Gr 4-6-Both of these titles present a complete study/investigation program including suggestions for housing and care of the featured creature, scrutiny of behaviors, and experiments, all requiring careful observation, note taking and measurement, and subsequent deductions from acquired data. Unfortunately, there is no warning about the brown recluse spider, a small, retiring house spider whose bite can be as nasty as a black widow's (capable of "a painful bite," which in many cases is a real understatement). Colorful cartoon illustrations and diagrams enliven the texts, as do crisp, color photo close-ups of the critters and a crew of kids at work on their projects. These books will be enthusiastically received by students and teachers alike, and there's a lot to be absorbed about both the creatures and the scientific method of investigation.-Patricia Manning, formerly at Eastchester Public Library, NY
