Illustrated by
Kendahl Jan Jubb.
Lush, bright watercolor illustrations dominate this book about tropical butterflies. The informative, informal text ("Eat, grow, shed. Eat, grow, shed--that's the life of the caterpillar") describes the characteristics, habitats, and life cycles of many tropical-butterfly species, from egg to caterpillar to chrysalis to butterfly. A list of approximately fifty butterflies along with their scientific names is included in the index.
