From Caterpillar to Moth

Children's Literature

In order to help emergent readers, Grolier had developed a new collection of nonfiction books entitled Welcome Books. The objective is to welcome new readers and in particular to provide factual information in an interesting format. The teXt and photographs show how a caterpillar becomes a moth. Fullpage, fullcolor photographs appear on the right hand page with a simple two or three sentence teXt on the left. Bolded words are defined in a section entitled "New Words." There is a page that lists books and web sites to help kids find out more (note that no dates are given for the books cited). There is an indeX and a brief mention of the author and the consultants on the final page, and there is an opening table of contents page. 2000, Grolier, $13.50 and $4.95. Ages 4 to 7.
