What do you know about wasps? There are wasps that shimmer in shades of bright blue and green. There are some without wings – and some almost too tiny to see. Some capture spiders, while others nest in fruit or mud. With over 12 000 species found in Australia, Wonderful Wasps brings the beauty and importance of native wasps to life, and reminds us every creature matters in its own wonderful way. Reading level varies from child to child, but we recommend this book for ages 5 to 9. Shortlisted, The Speech Pathology Australia Book of the Year Awards 2023: 5 to 8 age category
