NSTA Recommends Review: 
Milkweed Visitors is a spectacular book that introduces readers and listeners to the many small insects that visit milkweed plants. Early readers will enjoy reading the book, while older students will delight in sharing the text and photos with younger students. It illustrates a variety of relationships among animals and this special plant.....
With the introduction of vocabulary such as nectivore, predator, and proboscis, readers will learn important science concepts. This 32-page, informative, inspiring book is a splendid resource for preschoolers through second graders. The book lists two websites for further research on monarch butterflies. Don’t miss out on this special visual treat.
