The Butterfly Book: A kid's guide to Attracting, Raising and keeping Butterflies

Great book! We have it for the older kids (4th grade up) in the family to learn about butterflies for school science projects and home fun. Easy to read to the younger members of the family with lots of pictures.

A how-to and why book for butterflies

I'll share the review I wrote for The Home School Manual ========A Kid's Guide to Attracting, Raising, and Keeping Butterflies. In addition to practical information, this attractive, 40-page book has interesting science information. For example, chemical sensors on butterfly feet allow them to "taste" leaves. 21 species are described with the regions of the US and Southern Canada where they may be found. One sentence I disagree with is. "No one knows why the dinosaurs died out. . . ." 1997, from John Muir Publications
