It's a Good Thing There Are Butterflies (Rookie Read-About Science: It's a Good Thing...) - Softcover
Synopsis
Sure they're pretty to look at, but butterflies also have a job to do.
As they flutter through the garden drinking nectar, butterflies pollinate the flowers they visit. A butterfly is also food for birds, spiders, and other animals. The well-organized chapters help readers (Ages 6-7) identify key details. The illustrations and text features such as captions and bold print help students navigate the text while the photographs add clarity and enable students to better understand the text.

Reviews
K-Gr 2-These books open with a short list of "good things" that each animal contributes to the ecosystem opens these books. Bats, for example, eat insects and spread pollen and seeds. The content then shifts to more general information about physical features, life cycles, and habitats. Full-page photos of mostly high quality match the simple text effectively, aided by useful labels. Interesting details are judiciously woven into the broader overviews, some within the main text and others through "fun facts" insets. The titular "good things" return in a concluding spread, which restates the benefits, using effectively captioned photos. An additional "creature feature fun" section includes riddles, an activity suggestion, and more facts, along with photos. The theme of creatures helping the world may draw curious readers, while the solid presentation of information introduces each animal at a level that works for new readers.α(c) Copyright 2014.
