For kids who are fascinated by bugs, these two large and colorful books describe insects, spiders, and an assortment of other creatures that creep, crawl, and fly -- and that all live somewhere nearby. Descriptions are accompanied by much-enlarged color photos. Although kids will recognize many of the creepy-crawlies, they'll be inclined to think that some of the others are fugitives from a science fiction movie. Fortunately, many are harmless to people (some are actually beneficial), others are merely nuisances, and only a few are dangerous. In the pages of these two volumes, kids will discover them all. (Ages 8 and older) Kids discover the creatures galore that creep in kitchen crevices, live under floorboards, hide in closets, hang from attic rafters, and scuttle on cellar floors. Here are roaches and earwigs, centipedes, beetles, and dust mites, woodworm beetles, termites, house spiders, moth caterpillars, and even bookworms. They all like to live as guests in different parts of people's homes.

A natural history of the wilderness in our homes, from the microbes in our showers to the crickets in our basements Even when the floors are sparkling clean and the house seems silent, our domestic domain is wild beyond imagination. In Never Home Alone, biologist Rob Dunn introduces us to the nearly 200,000 species living with us in our own homes, from the Egyptian meal moths in our cupboards and camel crickets in our basements to the lactobacillus lounging on our kitchen counters. You are not alone. Yet, as we obsess over sterilizing our homes and separating our spaces from nature, we are unwittingly cultivating an entirely new playground for evolution. These changes are reshaping the organisms that live with us -- prompting some to become more dangerous, while undermining those species that benefit our bodies or help us keep more threatening organisms at bay. No one who reads this engrossing, revelatory book will look at their homes in the same way again.
