Jean-Henri Casimir Fabre was a French entomologist and author. He was born in St. Léons in Aveyron, France. Fabre was largely an autodidact, owing to the poverty of his family. Nevertheless, he acquired a primary teaching certificate at the young age of 19 and began teaching at the college of Ajaccio, Corsica, called Carpentras. In 1852, he taught at the lycée in Avignon.

the text can be quite hard to understand at times


(3 stars)

I recommend this for older students.The chapters are also lenghtly,I do think it is a very no educational book though.


(5 stars)

A brilliant description of his experiments. Dramatic, engaging, witty. Wonderful.

hard to understand


(1.5 stars)

I can’t understand most of this. I think it’s probably very educational:) I recommend this to anyone who is bilingual.

nice title


(2.5 stars)

This is my homeschool book and I love this book but only some chapters 😾😻

Some bad readers


(3 stars)

Some readers are great but also the chapters are very long so it’s hard to understand some of the parts, but good job to the readers who can actually read.and to the people who can’t read get a different job. Otherwise, it was pretty good book and so there was a lot of great experiments in it 👌🏽👌🏾

Might be helpful for some cheese board lover


(2.5 stars)

I am not learning much from it, perhaps if the chapters were shorter and more clear I would like this more. I would put this on the "slightly helpful but at the same time annoying for those who don't like spiders" category

A lot of terrible readers👀🤔🧐🤨


(3 stars)
