Reviews

Here's some small-format science that our youngest professors-in-training can hold in their tiny hands and growing minds. This six-inch by seven-inch book describes the life cycle of a monarch butterfly in 94 simple, straight-forward words. Color photographs focus on each phase of development: the egg, the caterpillar, the chrysalis, and the adult butterfly. This is followed by a graphic review of the total life cycle. Butterflies are shown in their natural surroundings--chewing on, perching on, and hanging on leafy plants. The last three of the 24 pages provide some definitions, suggested additional reading, Web sites to investigate, and an index. This early reader series supports national science standards related to life science. Other books in the Life Cycles series cover cats, chickens, dogs, frogs, and whales.-- "Children's Literature Comprehensive Database"
