Jennifer Ward, Because You Are My Baby, Rising Moon (Flagstaff, AZ), 2007. This book is highly recommended for lepidopterists (young and old), for kids interested in natural science (um, I know: show me a kid who's NOT interested in natural science), and for school and public library collections. Dianne Hutts Aston, A Seed Is Sleepy, Chronicle Books (San Francisco, CA), 2007. Chronicle Books ‘A Seed Is Sleepy’ by Dianna Hutts Aston, illustrated by Sylvia Long 8 at Amazon What's more perfectly representative of springtime than the story of seeds and how they grow This book is visually stunning, and the story is light and easy to follow. You can see several additional inside spreads via a slide show over at Chronicle's website. The book discusses how and what butterflies eat, and the differences between butterflies and moths. There is information about a butterfly's life cycle, its characteristics (including the facts that butterflies are cold-blooded and need a body temperature of 86✯ (30✬) to fly and that many butterflies are poisonous to birds and other insects!), and its usefulness in pollinating plants. Not just because it was there (and not alone), but because it is SO GOOD that I really ought to have paid it attention sooner.įrom the creative team that brought you the award-winning An Egg is Quiet and A Seed is Sleepy, this splendid - and marvelously illustrated - nonfiction title provides gobs of information about butterflies.
