About this ebook

The creators of the award-winning An Egg Is Quiet and A Seed Is Sleepy have teamed up again to create this gorgeous and informative introduction to the world of butterflies. From iridescent blue swallowtails and brilliant orange monarchs to the worlds tiniest butterfly (Western Pygmy Blue) and the largest (Queen Alexandra's Birdwing), an incredible variety of butterflies are celebrated here in all of their beauty and wonder. Perfect for a child's bedroom bookshelf or for a classroom reading circle! Plus, this is the fixed format version, which looks almost identical to the print edition.

Ratings and reviews

Beautiful picture, factual info, and easy to learn for children. I like the spread page where it start from tiny egg, to a caterpillar. Indonesia known as the second place in the world where almost 50% of butterfly species live. Unfortunately there not so many mention in this book.

Cool book 😊

I love butter fliez
