    My love of science started when my geologist father told me a rock I had found in the back yard of our Wyoming house was a dinosaur bone. Fast-forward some years, and I wrote a short book called "Dinosaur World" and produced the cassette tape that went along with it. Thanks to a small publishing company named Price Stern Sloan, the book and tape went "viral," selling tens of thousands of copies in just a few months. That success led to the other Dinosaur World volumes, which eventually sold more than eight million copies. From that I branched out to write about other sciences I loved, including astronomy and space travel, entomology, oceanography, etc. And since I love producing audio, almost all the books included cassette tapes, and later, CDs.

      With me it's insects. Ever since Dad gave me my first ant farm, and ever since I collected my first butterfly, I've thought insects were great.

      Don't get me wrong, I like ball games too. Mom and Dad and I go all the time. And I'm the Blastron champion of the fifth grade. But give me a good bug hunt any day.

      Entomologists, the scientists who study insects, spiders and animals like that, say there are more different kinds of insects than there are all the other plants and animals in the whole world put together—almost a million! So I'll never run out of new ones to add to my collection. Of course, since a lot of the neatest
