What’s the Difference Between a Butterfly and a Moth?

This nonfiction book explains the difference between a butterfly and a moth. This book is from the series, What’s the Difference. The book describes the similarities and differences in physical characteristics, diet, behavior, and habitat between these two insects. While the illustrations are beautiful, I miss the real photographs that make these kinds of nonfiction books spectacular. There is great information that is easy to read and understand for young readers in a story type format. Throughout the book, there are additional information boxes about things such as metamorphosis, pollination and camouflage. At the end of the book, there is a great illustration of a butterfly and moth with all the different body parts labeled and diagrammed. There are also fun facts (there are 20,000 different kinds of butterflies and 150,000 different moths!), glossary, learn more and index.
