Speedy Dragonflies (No Backbone! the World of Invertebrates)

About this book

It isn’t easy for birds and other animals to catch a dragonfly for dinner. These speedy creatures can fly over 35 miles per hour (56 kph). People can’t even run that fast. These are just some of the surprising facts children will discover as they explore the fascinating world of these fast-flying creatures. Large, eye-popping photos and clear, grade-appropriate text will engage emergent readers as they learn about the natural habitat, physical characteristics, diet, and behavior of this unique invertebrate. Speedy Dragonflies is part of Bearport’s No Backbone! The World of Invertebrates series.
