(4) K-3 Green Light Readers series. The life cycle of a butterfly is described using child-friendly first-person language ("I eat this plant for lunch. Chomp, chomp! Crunch, munch!"). The easy-reader text, though accessible, can be vague or misleading ("I like to fly with all my friends. Wings help us play"). Vivid photographs are the volume's standouts. Appended "What Do You Think?" questions help check comprehension.
