Editorial Reviews

Butterflies, a favorite creature among kids, incite an interest in reading. From preschool through second grade, there is no better way to introduce science topics to children than through one of nature’s miracles. National Geographic is known for its’ vibrant photographs along with great text to help teach complicated subjects in accessible ways. The vocabulary in Flutter Butterfly is very simple yet informative. This early reader is designed for readers between ages four and seven, and the reading level is not beyond their comprehension. The pictures alone will hold young readers’ attention, because they are beautiful and the butterfly’s metamorphosis will spark the imagination. Children will be fascinated to see the life cycle of a butterfly. This is a great resource to accompany a science lesson. A great teaching moment lies in the introduction of butterfly terminology. Preschoolers will love this book, as it will open their eyes to the wonders of nature. Reviewer: Ann Cannon; Ages 4 to 7.
