Thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book. It will be released April 6, 2021 by Tundra Books & Penguin Random House Canada
If all you want to know about butterflies is how beautiful they are, don't bother with this book.
The interactive style breaks the fourth wall. A narrator warns us not to go on if we don't want to learn just how gross these creatures can be. Butterflies let us know what life is like from their perspective. In the process, this witty, entertaining book is chock full of educational information about butterflies.
Be brave and turn that first page.
You will learn that:
 |
some butterflies eat rotten food |
 |
| they taste with their feet |
 |
| some butterflies are drab while others are loud |
 |
| they are metamorphic shape shifters |
 |
| they are tricksters |
And that my friends is just the start of what this book will teach you about these fascinating creatures!
A double page spread in the back matter gives additional information about the different species identified in the body of the text.
Jacob Souva's artwork adds to the hilarity of this resource. He starts his images as sketches and finished them off digitally.
BTW, this book is kid approved. I was forced to read it to my 3 1/2 year old grandkids numerous times while they visited during spring break.
This book sounds utterly adorable!!
ReplyDeleteIt really is! The grandkids were as enthusiastic about it now that they are almost 7 as they did when they were 3.
