Caterpillar to Butterfly (National Geographic Kids Readers, Level 1)

Excellent book for 3-4 year old! She is watching the transformation before her eyes & the book has great pictures and explanations.

This book has been a wonderful addition to our home library, especially since my 3-year-old daughter became fascinated with butterflies at school. The book features stunning pictures that captivate her imagination and bring the transformation from caterpillar to butterfly to life. The text is simple yet informative, making it easy for her to understand and learn new facts about these beautiful creatures. She loves pointing out butterflies outside and telling us what she's learned from the book.

We go every year to the Butterfly Exhibit and She loved seeing and watching the butterflies fly around. I saw this on Amazon and sent it to her. They had such a nice learning experience, I would do it again. A wonderful idea for children of all ages.

This is such an amazing book. We bought it to go along with a butterfly garden! I thought it would be a great addition to our learning experience with the live caterpillars and butterflies. I have six kids - and wow - they are just amazed. The book is very helpful. As always, National Geographic is spot on with the beautiful photographs. It is a Level 1 book so it is just right for kids who are beginning to read on their own. My toddler loved to follow along with this book - as well as his older siblings. It has approximately 32 pages and they are each filled with wonderful facts and pictures. Your kids will love it - and they will learn something! Can't beat that.

We regularly keep chickens, When it came time to get baby chicks I thought it would be neat to start teaching my kids about the life cycle. They are toddlers, so I will have to read this book to them but it is simple enough for them to understand now. It will be a great book for them to grow with and learn to read with. Simple sentences and vocabulary. Great glossary in the back. Pictures that illustrate abstract concepts. I purchased the chicken life cycle and frog life cycle as well.

Was a birthday present along with a butterfly garden for my 7-yr old granddaughter. She absolutely loved this book, could read it herself and was fascinated by the pictures. When the caterpillars in her butterfly garden became large enough to form a chrysalis she would explain to everyone why and how it happened, then she waited patiently for the emerging butterfly always checking with her book in hand. She has now decided that her next year's science project will be to follow the stages of butterfly development. All due to this book. She wants to photograph her own stages and has already learned to spell the important new words in development. Thank you for this science boost for Ellie.

My granddaughter loved watch the whole process & even made a cute comment. She said 2 of the butterflies left as friends & flew around together. She wants to do it again next year.

This book is excellent for young butterfly lovers! It has a lot of useful info and beautiful pics. I purchased this along with the Insect Lore - Butterfly Growing Kit - Butterfly Garden as a birthday gift for a 5-year-old! She loved them both! The kit didn’t have any accompanying info on butterflies, so this book was a great companion piece!

I absolutely loved this book! Caterpillar to Butterfly makes learning so much fun and engaging for all ages. The facts are presented in a way that’s easy to understand, with vibrant photos and a clear layout that keeps kids (and even adults!) interested. It’s perfect for early readers and curious minds. National Geographic did a great job turning science into a fun adventure. Highly recommend adding this to your home or classroom library!

A must for every pre-schooler

My daughter is dyslexic, so it’s sometimes difficult to find books she can read independently, as the text is very simple, not to many lines of text, just short sharp information, she doesn’t get bored trying to focus on ‘wobbling jumbled letters’ as can happen with a full page of writing, and as a non - fiction, that’s what she needs! Along side our science about garden nature, it’s fab!

What a perfect little book. It’s simple and easy to read yet gives my daughter a good explanation about the butterfly’s life cycle. Pictures are amazing.

My family (adults included) love the Nat Geo Kids animal books. The photographs are excellent, and my kids love to learn cool facts about animals. I have also used these books in my classroom and they are always a hit. Kids love animals!
