[QUOTE="Pun1sh3R, post: 322259, member: 11029"] Do you have a defined criteria for "Kids Book"? Scope creep may drag this project out and the final product may not be fit for purpose. I am not trying to discredit any reccomendations, but what does a "Kid" want/should/need to know about Mantids? This is called "Voice of the customer". What age range are you shooting for? I think spiking a curiosity should be a goal for this. "I want to know more". At this point I think the captive care could be omitted. Maybe provide links to care sheets in an appendix? But keep the info as and standardized for each species (Scientific Name, common name, region, traits, etc.). Other thoughts; Brief scientific History/Facts (Mantids have been around for ?? Years. First known fossile dates back to ?? Years, (geological period). Comment about them being predators (Part of why their anatomy is the way it is). Mimicry(Camouflage). Maybe a note in the beginning that they can't hurt you. [/QUOTE]
