Monarch Butterfly
Written and Illustrated by: Gail Gibbons
Summary:
This text goes through the life cycle of the Monarch Butterfly, beginning with the egg, hatching into larva, following its growth and molting stage, and watching its growth and molting stage into the time when it is a full grown caterpillar. It then discusses how the caterpillar forms a Chrysalis, living inside for about two weeks until it comes out as a full grown Monarch Butterfly where the life cycle begins again.
Application:
As a teacher this text could be used in multiple ways. First, it could be used to teach the life cycle of a Monarch Butterfly, being paired in class with the raising of Monarch Butterfly from egg to Butterfly. This text could also be used in discussion of animal cycles in general, as it is a great picture of how animals cycle through life.
