(4) K-3 Dorling Kindersley Readers series. Wallace explains the life cycle of the butterfly by focusing first on a female laying eggs. One egg hatches, and the caterpillar matures and eventually becomes a butterfly with eggs of her own to lay. The cropped, close-up color photographs are sometimes unclear, but repetition and picture word boxes will help beginning readers through some of the longer words and sentences.
