Description
Head lice, the worm, the bat, the rat... Learn about these often-considered disgusting creatures in this hilarious illustrated nonfiction series by award-winning author and illustrator, Elise Gravel!
En la colección Animalejos encontraremos a animales de los que no se suele hablar. Algunos dicen que son feos y otros que son desagradables. El piojo, el gusano, el murciélago, la rata...
Todos los detalles que siempre quisiste saber sobre estos animales contados con mucho humor por la autora e ilustradora mundialmente reconocida, Elise Gravel!
Did you know that in addition to leaving annoying itchy bites, mosquitoes live in almost every country in the world? They detect humans through our breath, and only the female bites as it needs our blood to lay eggs (they can lay around 400 in one day!). So if you don’t want to get bitten, cover up!
Además de picarnos, los mosquitos hacen muchas más cosas: viven en todos los países del mundo, a los humanos nos detectan gracias a nuestra respiración y solo nos pican las hembras, que necesitan nuestra sangre para poner huevos, ¡pueden poner alrededor de 400 en un día! Por eso hay tantos. Si no quieres disfrutar de su compañía, ¡ponte manga larga!
