Colorful photos and concise text help young readers to identify the

differences between butterflies and moths.          Highly magnified, color photos

highlight this clearly written and informative volume on butterflies and moths. 

Each characteristic is explored in a two page spread, with a photo of a

butterfly on the left and a moth on the right. The narrative text is concise and

to the point, without oversimplifying the facts presented.  At the end of the

volume, the facing pages contain diagrams, summarizing the differences between

the species, with a photo of each in the middle.  Then, just for fun, strange

and little known facts about each species is appended.

The glossary appears as ╥Words to know,╙ and is placed at the beginning of the

volume to give students needed background to help decode and understand the text. 

At the end, bibliographical references and an index complete the volume.      This

book is part of the Which Animal is Which? series.  The series consists of 6

books at this time.  The focus of the series is to explain the differences

between similar and often mistakenly misidentified species.     Naismith, Pat
