Butterflies (Insects) [Library Binding]

Cari Meister (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Reviewed with Cari Meister's Mosquitos.

Gr. 2-4. These books in the new Checkerboard Science and Nature Library: Insects series introduce children to the world of insects. From the often maligned but misunderstood mosquito to the beautiful butterfly, each volume offers brief discussions of physical structure, growth, diet, habitat, enemies, and relationship to humankind. Exceptionally nice color photographs and simple graphics will draw browsers. Unfamiliar words, highlighted in colored type, are redefined in a glossary; there are a few "fun facts" appended, as well as Internet sites that kids can use to find out more. A nicely designed, well-thought-out series that will give kids basic information. Heather Hepler

More About the Author

From a young age, Cari made up stories. One of her favorite places to make up stories was on her grandpa and grandma's farm in southern Minnesota. There, she would find a quiet little spot in the corn field, or on a swing and let her imagination wander.

Cari has lived in Minnesota, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania. She now resides in Evergreen, Colorado with her husband, John, their four boys, two horses, and a very energetic runaway dog named Koki.

Cari loves to visit libraries and schools and talk about the power of the imagination and the joy of reading.

Besides writing and reading, Cari enjoys running, skiing, riding horses, yoga, and playing with Playmobil toys.
