Scholastic Discover More: See Me Grow

A bright and engaging first information book about life cycles, specially designed for children learning to read. SEE ME GROW is packed with animals growing up from baby to adult. Recognizable animals, such as puppies and elephants, are combined with more unusual babies, such as baby bees and strange shark eggs. Every animal group is covered, whether mammals or egg-layers, and unconventional life cycles such as tadpole to frog and caterpillar to butterfly are also featured. The simple text is perfect for beginning readers. The photographs are carefully linked to the text to construct that crucial picture/word link.
