Dazzling Dragonflies: A Life Cycle Story

32 pp. | Millbrook | January, 2008 | Library ISBN 978-0-8225-6753-0 $22.60
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Mia Posada. A second-person text ("You jut out your long toothy lip...") and collage-like illustrations take readers through a dragonfly's stages of growth from egg to nymph to adult. The presentation is effective, but the text tries too hard to be lyrical and the refrain--"Hello, growing dragonfly nymph!" "Hello, hungry dragonfly!"--quickly becomes tiresome. Back matter provides more information about the subject.
