Spiders, butterflies and snails are just some of these amazing creatures featured as well as the process of metamorphosis. In a neraly square format, the book is easily handled by children and is clearly and stunningly illustrated with bright colour photographs. It contains contents, a combined glossary and index, and captions to provide experience of the organisational features of non-fiction. It has also been checked by literacy and science consultants.
