Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
K-Gr 2--Two colorful picture books that introduce the life cycles of butterflies and sunflowers. Each volume is broken down into two parts: a narrative comprised of somewhat dry sentences in large type and a double-page fact sheet. Growth outlines are included in each book: from egg through caterpillar to adult butterfly in the first and from seed to full-grown and finally withering sunflower in the second. Illustrations are bright, labeled, and, for the most part, accurate. Scale is occasionally a problem, as in Butterfly where an unrealistically huge spider is shown on the same page as the tiniest of birds. There are no pronunciation guides to help with such words as "germination" and "pupa." These "life stories" will be most appreciated by children who enjoyed Eric Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar (Putnam, 1981) or Eve Bunting's Sunflower House (Harcourt, 1996) and who want to know more.

This review is from: From Caterpillar to Butterfly (Lifecycles) (Paperback)
I love all of the 'Life Cycle' series books!! I read them to my 3 year old granddaughter at nap time. She is picking up a fabulous vocabulary through them. They are informative, interesting and amazing (because there is nothing more amazing than nature.) I highly recommend them.

ELLs,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: From Caterpillar to Butterfly (Lifecycles) (Paperback)
This book is ideal for teaching school-aged ELL beginners the vocabulary needed for a unit on butterflies. It provides them with just enough challenge without overwhelming. The pictures make the text transparent.
