The Life Cycle of a Butterfly
$13.00
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

Lifecycle
$18.98
Yellowjackets have stepped closer to fusion than ever before on this album. They have been evolving from a radio-friendly, R&B and almost smooth-jazz sound to a genuine contemporary jazz/fusion sound, and this album is another step in the right direction. Mike Stern has added his sophisticated guitar sound to the band's rich mix of acoustic and electric instruments and the band sounds great together right from the first tune. Mike Stern has an opaque tone which complements the band's sound nicely. Conversely, the band provides a perfect backing for Mike's solos. I love the way guitar and keyboard or sax follow each other note-for-note in tight runs. There are many nicely composed pieces here, in particular the contemplative "Measure Of A Man", the quirky "Falken's Maze", the driving "Double Nickel" featuring an amazing solo from Mike, the breezy "Yahoo" and the playful "Claire's Closet" are standout pieces that are valuable additions to the ever-growing wealth of excellent material. I hope Mike will record with them again, and who knows? Maybe become a permanent member.

Butterfly Life Cycle Stages
$4.99
While I Love the butterfly kit wherein you can see eggs to caterpillars to chrysalis to butterfly, children need to TOUCH things. Of course, they can't touch the live critters.

That's where this product comes in. It compliments the kit and allows a hands-on experience for the little ones.

Jewish Life Cycle
$29.95
Beliefs, Customs and traditions define every aspect of Jewish life. From the day a Jew is born until after they die, every day marks a different stage of life, each with its own personal and religious significance. The film describes three of the most crucial landmarks, Birth, Bar Mitzva and Death and describes each with a beautiful personal story: The Eighth Day -Religious life for a Jewish man begins on the eights day after his birth, and marks his initiation into the ritual cycle of life. Set in the days of the Maccabim when the Greeks ruled the promised land, The Eights Day follows the struggle of a father from the desire to give his son a 'normal' Greek life, to his recognition of the importance of his Jewish heritage and a growing urgency to proudly pass it to his young son. The Journey - Set in the Marxist Soviet Union of 1941 when freedom of thought and belief were crimes against the state, the journey is the story of American Civil Engineer Jonathan Levinson and youngster Nikolai Krone. They both, through a miraculous meeting, come to embrace the beauty and importance of the Bar-Mitzva ceremony, and the privilege and responsibility it brings to being a full adult Jewish man. The Corridor - The last landmark in the Jewish Life Cycle is death and burial. Sharon, a young girl in Israel as a summer volunteer, has a near death experience following a car crash. Following the experience, she discovers some extraordinary inner truths and deeper Jewish beliefs on the matter. With these landmarks and stories, the film intimately depicts the way religion intertwines and defines Jewish life and paints beautiful pictures of religious discovery. From the day we are born and begin a brave new life until after our death, this is the Jewish Life Cycle. Doko Media looks forward to serving you, your family and your community. The in-depth journey into Israel's history is shown to you on best quality DVD and with our full customer service and shipping guarantee.
