My son loves this book, as do I. National Geographic hit a home run on this one.Not present is National Geographic's habit of digitally adding unnecessary characters to host the book, or their penchant for unnecessary vocabulary ("mojo", for example).What is present are caterpillars and butterflies. Lots of them. In photos and in text, the book is sure to captivate the interest of children everywhere.Oh, and two tips for parents whose children request they read this book over and over to the point where you groan when they want you to read the book. First, liven up the book by substituting the word "monster" for "butterfly". This sent my son into gales of laughter one evening. Second, amuse yourself by adding the word "midlife" before the word "chrysalis". The play on words will be entirely lost on your child, and it'll bring a smile to your own face.Then buy another National Geographic Books and hide the one you've read twenty times in the last month.
We gave these out as party favors for my 4-year-old daughter's birthday and everyone enjoyed getting it and has given great feedback. I like giving favors that are educational and the pictures are beautiful.
Bought this to go with our caterpillar to butterfly project. My 3 yr old grand-daughter was fascinated to learn about their transformation. We read the book when we received our "cup of caterpillars," then we kept referring back to the pictures throughout the weeks, as they formed into chrysalides, then into butterflies. Great book with plenty of photographs. Good for teaching.
The book is perfect for beginning readers or young children. The words and concepts are very clear, and the photos are great. It is a little on the short side, but I think that is good for the age group targeted.
The pictures are great but contains approximately 15 or so pages. I would have appreciated more science and important facts.
Once again, I find National Geographic Kids books the go-to books whenever I need to get a good science guide for my four-year-old daughter. She was captivated as I read to her and even could answer all of the comprehension questions at the end, which I found really impressive. There is good vocabulary introduced such as "chrysalis" and "camouflage". We are raising our own caterpillars right now and this is a great companion guide to consult with and read as we watch the little critters grow and transform.
Ordered this book to accompany the Insect Lore Butterfly Pavilion. As a teacher, National Geographic readers provide accurate information with stunning photos (like their magazine) and I would recommend any of their materials.
This is a very colorful book and exceptional for BASIC information and to get kids interested in learning; however, if you want to learn a lot about caterpillars to butterflies, you aren't going to get it here. It has very limited information here and there as captions to pictures on the page, and that's it. But it makes a great accompaniment to the Insect Lore Butterfly Garden, which we purchased along with the book. It makes a great reader for a 1st or 2nd grader as well. It was perfect for my 3 year old grand-daughter, who isn't going to get much from a book with vast amounts of information about butterflies.
