Did you know that a mosquito can smell people and animals from up to 100 feet (30 meters) away? Using their senses, these insects find sources of blood to feed on. A female mosquito may lay between 1,000 and 3,000 eggs in her lifetime. Discover more fascinating facts in Mosquitoes, a Bugs That Bite book. This is an AV2 media enhanced book. A unique book code printed on page 2 unlocks multimedia content. This book comes alive with embedded weblinks, audio and video clips, activities, and other features, such as a slide show, matching word activity, and quiz.

About this title

From Booklist:

The volumes in the Backyard Animals series may be slim, but they’re packed with information and include fine close-up photos of critters found all across the U.S. In pictures and words (though with a couple of awkward sentences), Mosquitoes points out the different varieties of the bloodsucking insect, where it lives, and what it eats. Also notable: because mosquitoes like the smell of soap and shampoo, the book suggests that readers not use these items! The series has some unusual features, including myths and legends about the spotlighted animals. Frequently asked questions, a puzzle, and a short glossary round out the able treatment. Grades 1-3. --Ilene Cooper
