Learn about Texas Insects
Compiled by Chris Durden

Joining the ranks of Texas Parks and Wildlife's acclaimed Learn About... series, this educational activity book features what are probably the most numerous and easily observed of Texas' animal residents. Here children from six to twelve are introduced to the marvelous world of "bugs"—that great host of hopping, crawling, flying, and buzzing creatures more properly called insects.
Youngsters can color eye-catching line drawings of many of the most common, as well as unusual, Texas insects—all of them interesting, some of them beneficial, and some, without question, pests. The accompanying easy-to-read text gives important facts about insect lifeways and insects' roles in nature. Interspersed throughout are instructive games and suggested activities. Included, too, is a 17" by 22" coloring poster.

Для детей 6- 12 лет, энтомологов и просто любителей насекомых, если таковые вообще найдутся.

Learn about Texas Freshwater Fishes
By Georg Zappler
Illustrated by Elena T. Ivy

Для детей и всех любителей рыбалки.

Ages 6 to adult (who doesn't like to color and learn?)
More than just a coloring-and-activity book for upper-elementary-school-age children, this book includes detailed information about the anatomy of fish, ancient fishes, and the 174 species of freshwater fishes found in Texas today. Grouped by type (jawless, bony, etc.), the fish are illustrated with black-and-white line drawings, and each fish's distinguishing features and marks are described.
Here's the definitive guide to all the ones that—hopefully—won't get away while you're fishing Texas' abundant fresh waters. Sportsmen and -women will find all their favorites—bass, crappie, sunfish, catfish, buffalo, shad, and trout, to mention just a few, in large, full-color illustrations coupled with an easy-to-read, informative text.
This colorful, attractive publication features 46 of Texas' most important and interesting freshwater fishes and gives details on each species' distribution, appearance, and life habits, along with angling tips and other fishing information. The author, Earl W. Chilton II, is a fisheries biologist working in the Inland Fisheries Division of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
