What's life like for a wasp? Readers find out as they explore the life cycle of one of the most common--and most feared--insects. From egg to adult, each stage of a wasp's growth and development is documented for early readers through clear and simple text, with new vocabulary included in a helpful glossary. In addition, helpful graphic elements and full-color photographs engage beginning and reluctant readers. This important introduction to early elementary life science topics also serves as a great exercise in independent reading.
