Gregor the Grasshopper takes children aged 7 and up into the world of insects. There, they encounter a multitude of relatives – from powerful giants to inconspicuous lightweights, as Gregor's family is enormous! Whether high in the mountains, in hot deserts, or right outside our door, they crawl, creep, fly, and jump all over the world. In short text segments and through impressive images, young readers will discover a wealth of interesting and extraordinary facts about these little critters: for instance, that they have been on Earth longer than dinosaurs or that spiders are not insects. The book also includes practical tips for insect research and rescue. With Gregor's reading quizzes after each chapter and at the end of the book, young insect researchers can check whether they have understood what they read.
