Did you know there are around 8,000 types of centipede in the world? The name centipede means 100 feet, although not every centipede has that many feet. And centipedes can't count anyway! Are You a Centipede? will give young children an inside look at the everyday life of this fascinating insect. They can find out why the female centipede is such a good mother, what happens when her eggs hatch, how centipedes can run very fast to catch insects and small spiders to eat, and what the difference is between a centipede and a millipede.
