Synopsis

Did you know you share your home with monsters?!  In this book explore the menagerie of tiny and unusual creatures—arthropods (insects, mites, and spiders)—found in our lawns and gardens, our food, our beds, our clothes, and even our eyelashes.

You may not know it . . . but you share your home with monsters!

Some of these monsters are so tiny that they were barely recognized, even by scientists, until the invention of the electron microscope. Although they may seem like aliens from another planet, these miniscule creatures live right alongside us.  And just about all of them are harmless—and some are even helpful!

In his signature cut- and torn-paper style, Steve Jenkins shows readers that—seen up close—these pesky critters are as fantastic looking as any creature on Earth. This Caldecott Honor–winning duo also uses informational graphics and diagrams to demonstrate just how big the critters are, where they live, and how many there might be in your home right this second!

• Amazing Animal Facts: Discover which creature can survive in boiling water and the vacuum of space, and which tiny pest is the deadliest animal in the world.
• Up-Close Illustrations: See mites, lice, and ticks in stunning detail through Steve Jenkins's signature cut-paper collage artwork.
• STEM for Kids: Explore the world of magnification, from the common microscope to the powerful electron microscope, and learn how scientists see this invisible world.
• Perfect for Young Readers: A must-read for curious kids ages 6-9 who love nonfiction, nature, and learning about the insects and spiders living right under their noses.
