The monarch butterfly, one of the most seemingly delicate of all of nature’s animals, proves to be one of the toughest in this reader. Making the yearly trip from the Northern United States and Canada to the Oyamel forest of Mexico is no easy task, and it takes five generations of butterflies in order to do so. Battling cold temperatures and the threat of starvation, these beautiful insects complete an almost 3,000 mile journey over the course of two months, only to have to turn and around and head back home. National Geographic supports K-12 educators with ELA Common Core Resources. Visit www.natgeoed.org/commoncore for more information. Review: Brief, colorful, up to date, and easy read - This brief review updates much new information about these butterflies, and it does it with graphics and photos that educate and enthrall. Purchased for grandchildren in the 6-8 year range, it is an easy read but enjoyable and very educational. Especially helpful are the vocabulary glossaries and the charts. I was quite surprised to read some of the recent research results. It definitely is a good choice for older readers too, allowing you to quickly understand and learn while enjoying. Highly recommend!

Gorgeous Photos
The photos are stunning and very interesting and easy to read facts on every page. Although technically for children I bought this for my mother with dementia and it is her favorite. I enjoyed it myself as well.

A great non fiction book for elementary students
National Geographic is a great brand of children's books to read to a classroom. My students like the simple jokes that are found on a few of the pages. This book is also helpful when teaching about non fiction attributes such as glossary, labels, table of contents, etc.

Great book to use during Distance Learning
We used this book during our Distance Learning school. It was a great book for my 3yo, 6yo, and 10yo. Its very informative and has bright pictures.

Improvement
This book is missing some "Weird but True" facts. The index reference does not match all the pictures. The "10 Cool Things About Monarchs" also has matching issues. However, overall this book is a great read for children.

Love NatGeo Kids!
Awesome book! Between the pictures and text, it would be interesting to a wide range of ages. My granddaughter is 1st grade & she loved a NatGeo Kids magazine I picked up a couple weeks ago, (first I had seen). I can't wait to give her this. I decided to order direct from Amazon rather than do the subscription based on numerous reviews concerning subscription/renewal issues. It is full of info & pictures & is gift quality!

Para crianças que se interessam por ciências
Vale muito a pena custo x benefício. Leitura indicada para criancas que já leem textos maiores em ingles, dá para ir lendo aos poucos. Minha filha adora, leva na mochila e lê ou apenas vê nas horas vagas
