Customer Reviews

Butterfly Heaven
The Purple Spotted Swallowtail is an exquisite butterfly. An entire garden filled with just those butterflies would be heaven.

The Smooth Emerald moth like butterfly seems to have almost velvet wings and the Cloudless Sulphur is shocking yellow.

The stickers can be removed and used on letters or can be placed on the eight pages in the best space available. The stickers can be stuck down and then peeled off again. So, you can use the stickers more than once. These would be wonderful to decorate a project for school.

If you choose to use this book as a teaching tool, the Habitats of each butterfly and the reasons for camouflage are briefly discussed. The life cycle of butterflies and moths are explained and a sticker is there for each stage.

You might want to plant some flowers that will attract these gorgeous creatures. I did find a few butterflies in my garden. One nearly flew into me, guess I need to get out there more so they know I exist. ;>

A lovely book children and even adults will enjoy. >i<

A really great primer on butterflies and moths!
My children love this book (even my six-year old) and so do I! It is not meant to be a complete atlas of butterflies and moths, but explains in straightforward terms many features of the lives and behaviors of these beautiful insects. The quality of content and production is what we have come to expect from DK Publishing! It is the perfect companion to an atlas of regional butterflies. Although the content is geared for the adult and older student, younger children will love to have the information interpreted for them. My six year old stands in the butterfly garden, this book open in her hands, waiting to spot a butterfly familiar from its pages.
