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
