Start Small, Think Big is a series that sets readers on a journey of discovery, beginning from the small and familiar to new areas of knowledge where you really have to think big! Small Mighty Beetle starts with a small green beetle feeding on a fresh pile of elephant dung. She is a “roller,” a type of dung beetle with super strength and senses. She cleans up after the large animals of the African savannah, eating their waste and using it to feed and protect her babies. This story ends with a foldout map and an I Spy game to take children back into the book to further deepen the learning experience. The Start Small, Thing Big series includes books on all major natural environments and ecosystems including the Arctic, the rainforests, coral reefs, river deltas, and meadows. Small Mighty Beetle rounds out the six titles with a focus on savannah lands.Author: Mary Auld
