Gorgeous book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
My niece and I love Jerry Pallotta's books, and this one is no exception. The illustrations are gorgeous, the text is wonderful and educational, and my niece's enthusiasm about the this book tells me that it will quickly become one of her favorite books at story time.
Beautifully illustrated--and informative!

This book is not only gorgeous to look at but also informative in a very non-didactic way. Highly recommended.
Great book, from a great author!

I just adore the books from this author, but this butterfly book is a "must have" in your child's library collection. We look at this book constantly while we sit on our back porch admiring our own butterflies. The book has taught my daughters so much!
A Fun Interesting Book!

This is another great alphabet book by Jerry Pallota. Who else could make an alphabet book series more interesting than he could? I learn something new everytime.
Facts and pictures about butterflies using the alphabet
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
A wonderful way to learn the alphabet is using nature to represent each letter. Jerry Pallotta has offered yet another text with this format to add to his previous fifteen Nature Alphabet Books. This time, Pallotta marches out different species of butterflies for each letter, from "A is for Apollo" through "Z is for Zephyr Metalmark." The text on each page invites children to pour over pictures of butterflies while associating each butterfly with its name. Readers must look closely to discover hidden characteristics, hunting , for example, to find the poodle face on the "Dogface" butterfly's wings. Realistic, colorful pictures display each butterfly as if momentarily suspended before a reader who dares not breath for fear of frightening the creature away. The older butterfly guru can learn new information about butterflies, where each lives, and a fact about each-the Magdalene Alphine lives high in the mountains and has black wings that absorb sunlight and keep it warm. For young elementary children, Jerry Pallotta intertwines reading and learning as he provides pictures and information about butterflies from all parts of the world while teaching the alphabet.
