Learn about the incredible life cycle of butterflies, then build the press-out model inside!

This ingenious full-colour board book gives children the opportunity to discover the remarkable life cycle of a butterfly in an interactive way. The easy-to-understand text and enticing artwork by Laura Deo give readers a clear understanding of how caterpillars emerge from eggs, spin chrysalises, and emerge as butterflies—before laying new eggs as the cycle begins again.

The final page of the book contains all the components needed to create a colourful, 3-D model of the life cycle. No glue or cutting are needed; just press out the pieces and slot them together! The resulting model functions as both a learning aid and a charming keepsake that can be displayed in a child's bedroom.

This book supports school learning at home and is a wonderful, hands-on way for young readers to understand biology and life-cycles.

A great gift for curious kids aged 4+.

ABOUT THE SERIES: The Life Cycles series takes an integrated approach to learning, combining text-based elements and hands-on model building to create an enriched understanding of life cycles for young readers.
