Another Hit

My daughter loved 10 Little Lady Bugs so much I purchased this book for her as well. It took her a couple of reads to get into it, but she soon fell in love. It is now read as often and the Lady Bug book. The story is short, simple and fun to read, although when tired the last couple of pages can be a bit of a tongue twister for mom. It is an excellent story to teach color giving it a good educational value and the nice thing is it is a good bedtime story. It is very calm and relaxing so we now alternate this book with Goodnight Moon, which I was tired of reading. Really a very good choice for a toddler book. Note however, this is not a board book and the pages while thick are easily torn.

I highly recommend this cute book!

I purchased this book for my 2-year-old niece who was going to be spending a week at my house while her parents were on holiday. She LOVED this book and asked me to read it again and again! She absolutely adored the bright, sparkly butterflies and the vibrant pages. I loved it because it not only relaxed her and helped me put her to bed, but also taught her colors (as each page is themed with a different color). All in all a great little book!

KIDS LOVE BUTTERFLIES!

Ever since I read j.singh's The Butterfly to my kids they've been obsessed with caterpillars and butterflies and just about the entire insect kingdom. So, undoubtedly, I've been cajoled into buying pretty much every butterfly book on the market (i plan to bill Singh!). Now having read all these books I consider myself a sorta self-proclaimed authority whose mission is to save parents time and money. And so here are the winners according to me and my two wonderful children. The gold medal goes to GOOD NIGHT SWEET BUTTERFLIES (for the illustrations color and content); the silver medal to FROM BUTTERFLY TO CATERPILLAR (for content and pictures); and the bronze to WAITING FOR WINGS (for content). There are plenty of others but these are a good place to start. Hope I've been helpful.

My Daughter's New Favorite

This book is absolutely beautiful. A brilliant bedtime story with vibrant colors and gorgeous illustrations. Each page teaches a different color and the illustrations boldly burst with that color. ..., is how the book starts off and we are then led all around this color dreamland. ...The butterflies in the book are popped out and sparkly. As we turn each page the color butterfly we are reading about disappears. Each page mentions the color twice and an animal. The last page reunites all the butterflies and the colorful animals as we say goodnight...My daughter loved this book since she was 4 months old. The colorful illustrations keep her interested and she likes to grab at the popped up butterflies. A delightful story I enjoy reading again and again. I sometimes even read it to myself. The purple page is MY favorite.
