Reviews

[Ronan Crutchfield]

I wasn’t super interested in this book and kept going to play with something else

[Kim]

One main sentence per page with 1-2 short sentences of other facts in very small print. The main sentence is simple and informative. Also invites kids to do actions (flap wings, what color are its wings? point to the green one) so it's a bit interactive while scientific and informational. Bright and real photographs with vivid colors.

[Kate Bryant]

Gorgeous photographs of butterflies and the stages of their life cycle.

Multiple nonfiction text features are represented such as: labels, diagrams, pages numbers, photographs, captions, pronunciation keys, and bold text.

[Arlo Panzera]

Fun learning about caterpillars and butterflies with beautiful pictures.

[Elias Hoffman]

Informative and engaging

[Maeve]

A basic introduction to butterflies (from egg to caterpillar to butterfly).

The photography is a nice quality; and a variety of butterflies (with photographs and names) are highlighted.
