Books with title The scientist,

The Krumbles seem an ordinary family - busy mum, hardworking dad, and their two children Liam and Piper. Boys, as Piper would tell you, are annoying and boring. Girls, as Liam would say, are equally annoying but also devious and at times, too smart for their own good! When Liam makes himself invisible Piper sets out to discover the truth, is he really a scientist? Or a scammer? Sisters always seem to have a way of finding out.

- NSTA-CBC Outstanding Science Trade Book - New York Times, recommended science books- Children's Literature Choice Book Small is beautiful--or so the bug scientists of the world believe. Insects, they say, boast qualities the rest of us have perhaps overlooked. They are among the earth's best fliers and farmers. They have survived and adapted for 350 million years, whereas we humans have been around for a mere 10,000 years. There are millions upon millions of species yet to be identified. Indeed, insects are perhaps nature's least celebrated but most successful creatures on earth.By following the footsteps of several bug scientists, we take a closer look at the extraordinary bugs that crawl, swim, and whiz past us. We visit the morgue, drop by an outdoor classroom, witness a bug bowl festival--complete with a cricket-spitting contest (yuck!)--and travel to the rain forests of Costa Rica--all in pursuit of a better understanding of bugs, glorious bugs.
