Editorial reviews

Product Description
In a field of lacy leaves, a small caterpillar hatches, grows, and sheds its skin, becoming a smooth, green creeper. It eats and changes some more, then in a sequence of remarkable close-ups, spins a sliken sling in which to pupate--until it finally bursts forth as a brilliant black swallowtail butterfly. Includes suggestions on how children can grow butterfiles in their own gardens. Color throughout. *************Full color.

Good for both young and older children
Both my toddler and grade-school age son enjoy this book - on different levels of course. The pictures are simply beautiful and my toddler just enjoys paging through looking at them - getting the basic idea that a caterpillar becomes a butterfly (maybe). My older son obviously understands more but also enjoys the pictures. You'll get a lot of use out of this one.

I'm not sure why, but it's a total hit.
This book contains a lot of information, a lot of words, and it's not written in verse. Yet, despite the absence of rhyme, my 2 year old son LOVES this book. He asks for it constantly. Perhaps having read Dr Seuss' My Oh My! A Butterfly! has piqued his interest in butterflies. Regardless, due to my son's love of the book, I give it 5 stars.

Butterfly book: "Where Butterflies Grow"
"Where Butterflies Grow", is a very informative book with many great pictures. I used it with elementary students when I did a unit study on butterflies at the beginning of the school year. It was well received by students and the material was well presented and easy to understand.The pictures were above the average.

My daughter acts this book out as I read it.
This book tells the complete story of the life cycle of a butterfly, beautifully illustrated. My 6 year old loves it. It is a perfect compliment to your life science studies. The descriptions are also beautiful, almost poetic.

Nature learning experience
Lynne Cherry's illustration of this book are so realistic they look like photographs. The book has exceptional detail from the flowery meadow to all the creatures living in it. The poetic text and illustrations describe the life cycle of a swallowtail butterfly with great accuracy. A wonderful story for nature lovers.
