In A New Butterfly, Connie watches through the spring and summer as an eastern tiger swallowtail butterfly goes through its life cycle. Children will enjoy the cumulative, sing-song verse patterned after "The House that Jack Built," and then peering under the flaps that reveal a caterpillar's metamorphosis. This book in the My First Look at series suggests ways parents and children can explore nature -- without disturbing it.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
This clever format provides two levels of text: one a simple story for quite young readers, and another, under the flap, a more involved scientific lesson. (Quill & Quire )

A Fun Book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: A New Butterfly : My First Look at Metamorphosis (My First Look at Nature) (Hardcover)
The main format of this book follows the same pattern as "The Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly." In addition to that story line, the book has flaps that you open to reveal more text and pictures. This is where the concepts of metamorphosis, as well as some extra information, are written. I purchased the book for my four-year-old nephew who wants me to read it to him over and over again. He loves to lift the flaps. We also look for the squirrel and other items that are repeated on each page. It's very fun for him now, and when he's a bit older, he'll be able to read this book for the factual information and learn from it. As a teacher, I would recommend it for an elementary classroom.
