My Life as a Cicada

The fascinating life cycle of cicadas illustrated beautifully along the plot of a dramatized story: the long journey of a cicada nymph trapped underground for seventeen years; the friendly and hostile subterranean creatures he encounters; and last but not least, his triumphant debut in the above-ground world of the sun, the moon and open air to fly in. This book portrays the natural drama that transpires in a periodical cicada's mysterious life cycle. People say that a picture is worth a thousand words. Well, this book has about 20 pictures, and that's worth 20,000 words! You will love it. Your kids will love it!
