Eggs, Legs, Wings

A Butterfly Life Cycle Seed, Sprout, Fruit
by Robin KOONTZ
978-1-42965-367-1.
COPY ISBN
Gr 2—4—These dual-purpose introductions to nature and to graphic texts include a how-to-read-panels diagram on their back covers. Information is presented in text boxes, word balloons, and labeled diagrams. Panels vary from vertical to horizontal; they occasionally fill full pages but are typically presented three per page. Moon and Water include two young children and their families in the illustrations, adding subtext but limiting their appeal to older reluctant readers. Minor quibbles include a confusing explanation of ground and surface water in Water and an unlabeled diagram of the osmosis process in Seed.
