Read in English by AnnaLisa Bodtker; laurencetrask; JMGaul; shibe; Zarina Silverman; Kirk Hendrick; realisticspeakers; J. M. Smallheer; Kathrine Engan; K.F. Armstrong; Devorah Allen; Britanie Long; Michele Fry This book is composed of selections from Alexander Teixeira de Mattos’ Translation of Fabre’s “Souvenirs Entomologiques,” retold for children. It's made up of first-person narratives, and gives us a close-up peep into the world of insects, including bees, wasps, worms, beetles, moths, and spiders, to name a few. When Fabre first published this work, as the Preface indicates, he was criticized by some scientists in his field for writing a scientific book that was "too interesting." - Summary by Devorah Allen For further information, including links to online text, reader information, RSS feeds, CD cover or other formats (if available), please go to the LibriVox catalog page for this recording.
