Basic butterfly information including body parts and life cycle, but that’s what you’d expect from  a series entitled – “My First Discoveries“. Young children and adults will be fascinated with the use of 5 transparent acrylic pages that when turned reveal a different side of the butterfly being discussed. There is a craft project on the last page,  making a string of butterflies similar to paper dolls.

This is a new and improved version of the books Gallimard Jeunesse helped create in the late 1980s and early 1990s. This time with  heavier weight paper (board), metal spiral binding (not plastic), and an inch or more larger in both directions.
