Review

A Step Into Reading book from Random House in its Science series. This book takes the reader through the steps from egg to butterfly (and back). Using one photograph per page and clear, simple language, the author walks the reader through each stage of the butterfly's life cycle. Since many schools have monarch butterfly caterpillars, this book would be useful in the classroom to explain all of the steps the children will witness. But the book would also be useful to a young reader interested in the life cycle of a butterfly. If you have a collection of life cycle books, or need books specifically on the life cycle of the butterfly,or if you need NF Early Readers on any subject, I would recommend this book.

Overall Book Score: very good
