Spanish term or phrase: aspecto referebtes
No me gusta el uso de “aspecto” en la frase traducida y busco otra opción que quede mejor.

El original:

De treinta y nueve libros de texto gratuitos que se manejan en la educación primaria de 1 a 6 grados, sólo nueve contienen aspectos referentes a la mariposa.

Pienso en omitirlo, y lo que queda será:

Of the 39 free text books used in grades one through six, only nine refer to butterflies.

Pero ¿he omitido demasiado?
