From Caterpillar to Butterfly (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science, Stage 1) Reviews

• It's perfect to use when "growing" butterflies in class!

  I use this book every year when we do our butterfly unit in the spring. What's wonderful about it is that it not only teaches the kids all they need to know, but it's set in a classroom. So my students really relate to it. I've used it with every class I've taught from K-3. When I have the budget I buy a copy for every child and they take it home as a souvenir at the end of the unit.

  This book is perfect for 3rd grade and under. I normally use it as a read-aloud, although this would be just fine for them on their own. Great book!
  
  

• A peek inside a mystery

  This book is the perfect accompaniment to spring! Even if you can't bring a caterpillar into your classroom, you can still share the magic and mystery of their turning into butterflies with this wonderful book. The tone is so kid-friendly, kids will be learning without even realizing it. A great resource!
  
  

• THE Book to accompany Butterfly Houses, Pavillions

  
  By A3FC9ZK64Z1DAV on 2002-12-22
  We got this book in addition to a home "Butterfly Pavillion" by InsectLore. It prepared my son and us for what to expect as the Painted Lady Butterflies were developing through each stage. So even during the lulls in the action, we could spark some anticipation. Which heightened the whole process for my 5 year old.
  We also found out this book is used at his kindergarten for their butterfly learning.
  This is the first Let's-Read-And-Find-Out book we've bought and were impressed enough to want to get the other books in the series.
  
  

• lovely story, but...

  The only complaint I have about this book is that the caterpillar disappears into a chrysalis -- not a cocooon. The last Painted Lady butterflies we had (a watch-your-caterpillar-change-into-a-butterfly kit) all spun cocoons - no chrysalis!
  
  
• Educational and Fun

  My 3 year old daughter loves it. It explains the process at a level she can understand. Great when used with the Butterfly Garden.

  Excellent account of the transformation from caterpillar to butterfly. It's a great gift for children and butterfly loving adults alike.
  
  
• 4-year-old loves this book
  By A3MOX4JJW2QGC1 on 2007-08-10
  My daughter has been raising two monarch butterfly caterpillars, which are now in the chrysalis stage. We bought this book to help her to understand what is going on, and she not only enjoys the book but has also learned a great deal. The book is very much at her level, but contains quite a lot of information. The drawings are also very appealing. Based upon our experience of this book, I intend to purchase more titles from this series.

  This book is a great way to introduce children to the metamorphosis of a caterpillar. It contains many great facts about caterpillars and butterflies.

  By A32UEV7AGISC5Y on 2008-03-26
  Great companion to the caterpillar to butterfly kits out there! My son was fascinated and it was nice to have a book to follow along the kit we bought seperately. Great for the preschooler.

• Great Learning Book for Little Ones!
  By A10C4Q0FLZRZK6 on 2008-06-01
  I bought this book for my friend's three-year old, who has been facinated recently with butterflies. I can see that he'll be interested now - and he'll be able to grow into the more detailed information later.
  
  
• Loved this book.
  By AX3M22TMLKQP6 on 2008-06-08
  I bought this book with the butterfly graden and we gave it as a birthday present. By the time the caterpillars came in the mail she was so excited and she new everything that was going to happen. This was propbably the best birthday gift I could have given an animal loving child. I will give this gift over and over again.
