Will You Sting Me? Will You Bite? The Truth About Some Scary-Looking Insects by Sara Swan Miller, illus. by Rick Chrustowski, reveals the real deal about some of nature's creepiest creatures in poetry. Information about the blood-sucking mosquito, for example, is followed by ""The Whiner"": ""You'll hear her whining day or night/ (I think she needs a tissue!)/ The only time she seems to smile/ Is right before she sticks you."" Realistic illustrations let budding entymologists examine the insects up close. (Oct.)
