A Wasp Is Not A Bee
by: Singer, Marilyn
Most people know the difference between a cat and a dog. But the differences
between certain other animals are not so obviuos, which is why it's so
easy to confuse them. You may guess that the insect trying to eat your
icecream cone is a bee, but it's probably a yellow-jacket wasp. You may
think that the chimp sitting in a tree in the forest is a monkey, but
it's really an ape. How can you tell these and other similar animals apart?
By using your eyes, ears, and all your senses to observe them--and by
reading this book. Ages 4-8. 32 pgs.
