"It is a very encouraging sign that both conservation practitioners and the general public are beginning to realize how important the smaller majority is to the health of our planet. In recent years, more resources have been directed t oward documenting and protecting smaller organisms. Public appreciation of the beauty and importance of these animals is our strongest ally in this conservation work. I hope that the images in this book will reinforce a child’s interests in the natural life of caterpillars or frogs, or perhaps they will awaken a long-forgotten fascination with small creatures in an older reader. It may even encourage some to kneel down, look closer, and discover the beautiful world around our feet."
