Description
In Entomologist Danny, Danny discovers insects in his yard. He knows that all insects have six legs, so he counts the legs of several small creatures in his yard to determine which ones are insects. Entomology is the science that studies insects. Entomologist Danny, part of the Scientist Danny Set, is a Level F, Upper Emergent Reader. Read more books about insects: Stinkbugs in Danny’s House (Level C), Danny Looks for a Honeybee Yard (Level G), and the lap-sized Danny and the Monarch Butterfly (Level I).

I have used and really like the Danny books. The students LOVE Danny! We have so much success in using these because the students have fun discussing them. I integrate science and math into my literacy as much as possible, so any book with topics related to these subjects is helpful.
