From Booklist
Gr. 1-2. This colorful volume from the All Aboard Reading Series uses relatively simple words to discuss butterflies. The text explains butterflies physical kinship with other insects and presents the life cycle of a butterfly as well as camouflage, migration, and the differences between butterflies and moths. The illustrations, which combine elements of painting and cut-paper collage, create various effects, from a landscape conveying levels of depth to a large-scale butterfly isolated against a white background. Though the information presented is quite limited, librarians may want to have this on hand for beginning readers who prefer nonfiction.
