(4) K-3 Super SandCastle: This or That? series. A brief, easy-to-read text and close-up photos cover basic differences between moths and butterflies, from which caterpillars wrap chrysalises in cocoons (most butterfly caterpillars don't) to physical characteristics (moths have furry bodies). Readers will learn a few facts about these creatures, but this isn't a complete introduction to either animal. An "At a Glance" recap and a finger-puppet activity are appended. Glos.
