In this volume, readers go underground to learn more about this unique insect. They'll learn facts about the cicada's life cycle, behavior, physical characteristics, and the important role it plays in its ecosystem. Readers will even learn about the cicada's identifying "song." Through information-rich text, fact boxes, and highly detailed photographs, this text puts a high-interest twist on the important science concepts covered in the classroom
