Ms. Frizzle takes her students on a field trip to the swamp. They want to know about the bug beast. They are able to learn about beautiful butterfly creatures. They learn that butterflies have many characteristics that make their life easier. Most of their enemies are larger and stronger than they are. Some butterflies are able to camouflage themselves to blend in with their surroundings. Some have huge eye spots that can make them look larger than they are and scare predators. Butterflies stay alive by tricking, hiding, and scaring their enemies using these characteristics. I would use this book when teaching a unit about butterflies. These books help students understand the science behind things in a much friendlier text. I would be sure to read the extra note at the end of the story which summarizes the ideas discussed in the book about butterflies. This clarifies many of the concepts from the book.
