K-3
Illustrated by
Shennen Bersani.
This rather unfocused concept book introduces different types of butterflies and also teaches young readers counting, colors, and how to say "butterfly" in more than twenty different languages (without pronunciation guidance). The vibrant, digitally manipulated Prismacolor-pencil art draws readers in as they encounter each new butterfly and counting challenge. The book is jam-packed with information but a bit overwhelming.
