Fun book for child and parent alike
My four year old daughter loves this book. I use it as our homeschooling text for science and nature study, but it is not like a textbook at all.

Edc Pub, 1980

Excellent early book for learning about trees, birds, flowers, butterflies and moths
This book is written for young children, and I have found that it has a great deal of information packed into a small amount of text. There are lots of beautiful illustrations, and even hidden picture games to keep kids entertained.

Too many words
I bought this book for my 4.5 year old because he has a interest in butterflies. We both found this book to have too much information. I think it would be better for kids in middle to later elementary school.
