Gr 3–5—Extreme close-ups of bugs, viruses, cells, and more charge up this series with browser appeal. These volumes offer a random sampling of creepy and odd subjects paired with melodramatic headlines, from praying mantises ("The Hug of Death") to viruses ("Viruses Hitch a Ride") to follicle mites ("Eyelash Bugs"). The up-in-your-face photos are presented with snippets of commentary in high-density jumbles of text and images. Reasonably generous resource lists, size comparisons, and notes on how much each photo has been magnified add at least some systematic elements.
