I love this series. Some of them are very hard to find and command a high price. The pictures are clear and bright and the "clear pages" add interest. They are European based, so some of the species pictures are not native but the information is sound. Recommended, if you can find them!

Q2021 book.

Another excellent addition to the First Discovery series. Amazing illustrations. Once again, there is a mating picture. I don't mind talking about it, but not so much with my 3-yr-old.

Great little science book.

This book is a nonfiction picture book for children. It goes through all the parts of a butterfly. It also gives examples of butterflies relatives. At the end of the book it teaches kids how to make paper butterflies as well. I liked this book, I thought it did a good job of relaying information about butterflies to children. I think this book would be best for first to maybe second or third grade. Since this book is really informational, I think reading it to a class and then reading a fiction book about butterflies would be great! That way they are read an informational book and a fun book!
