Thanks to Alyson at KidLitFrenzy for hosting this weekly challenge. There are so many wonderful non-fiction picture books these days - I just don't want to miss any of them.
QED Lifecycle Series
I have several collections of non-fiction books published by QED, which I think is a UK publisher. A librarian friend of mine has given me several sets on different topics. This set on Life Cycles I purchased from sales group that regularly visits our schools and sells all sorts of things, from candles to toys to cookbooks. It's the only thing I have ever purchased from the group! I think the collection cost less than $15-20! The books have beautiful photographs and includes labels, diagrams and a glossary. They are great reads for my second graders. This series on life cycles does mention the term "mating" but obviously doesn't go into a lot of details. I think it is very age-appropriate.
