Each book looks at the anatomy, features, and behaviour of the minibeast, introducing information about habitats, reproduction, predators, and feeding along the way. Images are highly magnified and contoured to give the impression that the creatures are almost walking off the page. Internet search tips as well as boxed text on each spread introduce further information.
