Sally Kneidel

Here Sally Kneidel, author of Pet Bugs: A Kid’s Guide to Catching and Keeping Touchable Insects and
More Pet Bugs: A Kid’s Guide to Catching and Keeping Insects and Other Small Creatures, proposes hypotheses to make about your favorite creepy crawlie. She also suggests ways to test hypotheses related to habitats, food preferences, social interactions, and intelligence. This is a terrific resource for using the scientific method to learn more about little critters from insects to worms to frogs. My 6 year old bug catcher led our whole family into a world of investigations with his latest captures!
