Butterfly
From the Series Little Bits! First Readers
A monarch butterfly flaps its orange wings. It once started life inside a tiny egg. So how did it develop? Beginning readers will discover how a caterpillar wriggles free from an egg, forms a chrysalis, and eventually emerges as a butterfly in this basic introduction to animal development. Each 24-page book features controlled text with age-appropriate vocabulary and simple sentence construction. The clear text, fresh design, and colorful, eye-catching photos are sure to capture the interest of emergent readers.

School Library Journal Review for See Them Grow
Well-designed introductions to animal development that pair simple text with clear photographs. The sequences showing embryo development in Chicken and Turtle are particularly effective. Close-up photos sometimes span an entire spread and will hold the attention of listeners, who can view and discuss the information in small read-aloud groups. . . . A picture glossary also includes pronunciation.
