(4) K-3 Explore My World series. Overly fanciful language ("the butterfly is ready to take off, to fly, to flash like a jewel in the sunlit sky") somewhat hampers an otherwise straightforward nature book. There's a focus on life cycle, though many additional topics are addressed, including diet, camouflage, and predators. Bold, bright photographs, many lively action shots, fill the pages. Contrasting headings, fonts, and captions bolster readability. Activities are included.
