Focusing on the gorgeous, popular Monarch Butterfly 
This book is wonderfully written for kids 9-12 years old. It has mostly live photographs and also includes well done, interesting illustrations, bold print of key words, plus the monarch is one of my favorite butterflies.
Here are the contents:
1 BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLIES (Nineteen species of butterflies shown.)
2 WHAT IS A BUTTERFLY? (Keywords: insect, thorax, abdomen, antennae, compound eyes, nectar, probiscus)
3 WHAT IS A LIFE CYCLE? (Monarchs live longer, those born in the spring live four to five weeks but those born in the autumn live for several months.)
4 THE MAGNIFICENT MONARCH (**Monarchs need milkweed! If there are no milkweed plants in an area, there will be no monarchs either!)
5 HUNGRY CATERPILLARS (Key words: tentacles, spinneret)
6 TOO BIG FOR ITS SKIN (Keywords: molt, face mask, instar)
7 TAKING A WALK (Button)
8 AMAZING CHANGE! (Keywords: dissolves, emerge)
9 A COMPLETELY NEW LOOK (Keywords: metamorphosis, form)
10 MALE AND FEMALE (Males have a dark dot on each of their hind wings. The dots make up the scent scales. When a male is ready to mate, it rubs its scent scales with its hind legs which creates a scent that attracts females.)
11 FLYING SOUTH (Since they must travel so far, they often glide, or let the wind carry them.)
12 MONARCHS IN DANGER (**Monarchs lay eggs only on milkweed plants. If they cannot find healthy milkweed, monarchs will not lay eggs. People build roads and buildings on fields where milkweed grows and they kill milkweed because they think it is ugly. Get a group of friends to help you plant milkweed or move it from gardens to wild areas.)
13 WELCOME BUTTERFLIES! (Keywords: pollen, pesticides)
14 RAISE A MONARCH (You will need:...)
15 Glossary and Index
Soar!
