My first book of Caterpillars, butterflies and moths is the newest title in this
highly successful children’s series. Beautifully illustrated, the book
introduces 56 species of southern African caterpillars and their adult
butterfly or moth. Young children will learn about the fascinating life cycle
of these insects and the important role they play in pollination. Each page
features a striking outsize illustration of a caterpillar plus the adult insect it
will eventually become. Simple text describes each species, and clear visual
clues show size, pupa shape, and whether the insect is dangerous.
This lively book will appeal to both pre-readers and those beginning to
read and is sure to be a welcome addition to a young nature lover’s bookshelf.
