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. 

Suitable for a child's home bookshelf or for a classroom reading circle.

Recommended by the publisher for readers ages 5-8 years.  Recommended by Nest owners for 8 years and up.  These books are rich in content.  We find it a lot of facts and information even for an adult.  However, the facts are balanced by the beautiful illustrations and text.
