Chances are that just under a nearby rock, you'll spot a roly-poly pill
bug. Encourage a child to take a close look, and introduce a fascinating
creature. Gently pick it up and watch as it rolls into a ball and
unrolls to take a walk. This cousin to lobsters and crabs sheds its
crusty skin and will tickle your hand with its 14 (count 'em!) wiggly
legs. Awaken a sense of wonder in a child with the Next Time You See
series from NSTA Kids. The books will inspire elementary-age children to
experience the enchantment of everyday phenomena, such as pill bugs,
fireflies, seashells, and sunsets. Free supplementary activities are
available on the NSTA website. Especially designed to be experienced
with an adult--be it a parent, teacher, or friend--Next Time You See
books serve as a reminder that you don't have to look far to find
something remarkable in nature.
