This review is from: Time For Kids: Butterflies! (Paperback)

The butterfly info presented in this book was great. The pictures are engaging. I used this book with several others on a unit about butterflies and insects.

As a head's up, this series includes mini-biographies about scientists, not necessarily related to the topic at hand. They appear in little boxes on a random page in the book. In this book, the person featured is Charles Darwin. I pre-screen my books anyway, but I was surprised to find a feature on Darwin in a butterfly book. I do teach my children about various theories, as well as the truth about creationism, but I wasn't expecting to have to address this during a butterfly book. I would prefer that the biographies relate to the topic at hand instead of coming out of left field.
