I dunno about the kid (he wasn't actually listening, so much) but I learned four things from this book.
1- there are butterflies somewhere in the world whose wingspans are equal to that of a robin
2-A freshly hatched caterpillar looks just like a flaccid dick, no matter the illustrator's skill
3-butterflies close their wings when resting, and moths do not
4- even stupid kids books out to have endnotes. Seriously. A list of the butterflies in the illustrations woulda exponentially improved this book. Why bother making such lovely, specific drawings and not tell me what kinda butterfly they are? This would've pissed me off even more as a small person than it does now (My brother confirms this from another room, and suggests I read another book to my nephew)

For a 1st or 2nd grader, this would be very informative and interesting to know more about caterpillars and Monarchs. However, there is nothing about that the Monarch caterpillar only eats milkweed leaves. I think this is important, but maybe when the book was written (or maybe the author didn't know), milkweeds were not so in danger of disappearing.

This book is good for teaching students about butterflies, how they live and what they eat. This book falls under the fiction because of the pictures that are displayed throughout the book as well as the writing style. This book is best for kindergarten.

Compares butterflies to moths, size, color, and where they live.

I liked when the caterpillar turned into a big beautiful butterfly.
