I purchased 5 books of this series for my five year old daughter for Christmas, as she wanted a "field guide" like her older sisters when exploring our 45 acres of woods. After reviewing these books before giving them, we decided to use them as part of our science program for our home school. These books have bright and colorful pictures, short accurate explanations of the animal, their habitat, eating habits, and even some of the popular anecdotes that go along with the animal. (For example, the myth about the stripes on the wooly bear caterpillar in relation to the length of winter) It has the appropriate warning for studying certain animals. What we enjoy most is that many of these animals can be found in our back yard to furthur study. Each book deals with three types of animal, such as Caterpillars,Bugs, and Butterflies. They are separated into sections dealing with each type. At the end of the section is a wonderful hands-on project the child can basically do on their own within the recommended age group (9-12) or with some assistance for a younger age group like my daughter. My 5 year old begs us to read these books to her and loves the projects. I highly recommend this book and others in the series for those who want their children to learn about nature and how to respect it.
I ordered this for my sons fifth birthday and while I found it cute, it is just okay for identifying caterpillars as it is not very comprehensive. Our childrens librarian recommended: Peterson First Guides: Caterpillars by Amt Bartlett Wright and that has been much more helpful for identifying many more species of caterpillars, butterflies and moths. We live in Northern Indiana and many of the caterpillars we have found have not been in this book but in the Peterson's book. My son loves it, though.
This book helps you find and identify caterpillars, bugs, butterflies, and moths. A great informational book!!
I also gave this book to a 7 year old boy for his graduation into 1st grade and I have been told that he hasn't put it down. He was so excited to get this book and the one about birds. He is into birds, bugs, and dinosaurs so these books really has helped him with his reading and identifying the different bugs he sees here in Florida.
What child doesn't enjoy the flight of a butterfly? And who isn't fascinated by the magical caterpillar's slight of hand transformation into this wonderful winged creature? This colorful book has it all as well as pictures and details of a myriad of other six legged critters lurking out our front and back doors in our bushes, trees and grasses. Easy to read and drawings are great. And contrary to its author's name, the book is anything but "Boring". I can hardly wait for Mel's book on beetles which I'm sure will be "Boring".
This series of books is perfect for little explorers like my grandson. I love the illustrations, and the information contained is adaptable to a wide range of age groups. I will be ordering more of this series.
This is another quality book from Cooper Square Publishing LLC. The pictures are large enough to study the insects. This guide is particularly suitable for kindergarten student, but the recommended age group is 9-12. Some activities are also suitable for six to seven years old children.This book invites young naturalists who wants to spot wildlife and gives basic information about insects, caterpillars, and butterflies. The book also includes identification information, educational activities, and fun facts. Safety tips are also provided. Color illustrations have enhanced the presentation. Some quick facts including when and where you are most likely to observe each species worth appreciation. Interesting facts about each species is written in different font and color at the bottom of the page."Make Moth Sugar" includes a recipe, an attractive treat to attract moths. The tomato hornworm, banded woolly bear caterpillar and ladybug sections are excellent. How to pages are suitable for children and attractive too.Appropriate warning for studying certain animals has given. The most important thing is many of these insects can be found in back yard for further study. Caterpillars, bugs, and butterflies are separated into sections dealing with each type. At the end of each section there is a project that children can do easily by themselves.For identifying caterpillars this book is satisfactory, but not up to the mark as many of the states have much more species than the species mentioned here. The author has balanced the content by picking up the most popular bugs. Though the text is fairly small the illustrations are so good that they can hold the young readers' attention.
Very well written with beautiful pictures. My 7 year old granddaughter is an outdoor princess who isn't satisfied with merely seeing things - she wants to know what she's seeing & some information about it. This entire series of books does just that. Makes identifying very easy & gives factual information in just the right amount for elementary age children . Highly recommend!
