Butterflies

“Crisp text describes the major phys­i­cal char­ac­ter­is­tics, behav­ior, dis­tinc­tive char­ac­ter­is­tics of habi­tats, defense mech­a­nisms, diets, and life cycles. [The text] also men­tions hiber­na­tion, migra­tion, pol­li­na­tion, threats to the ani­mals’ sur­vival, and efforts to pre­serve them. But­ter­flies explains how the insects mate, a detail most intro­duc­tions omit. [The book offers] more detailed infor­ma­tion on phys­i­ol­o­gy and behav­ior and life cycles than most gen­er­al intro­duc­tions aimed at about the same age lev­el. These pro­fuse­ly illus­trat­ed titles will appeal to browsers as well as report writ­ers.” (School Library Jour­nal)
