1^st Grade and Up

WARNING – This book contains top-secret information about butterflies! If you decide to read this book, you will be shocked and disgusted by these totally true facts.

Don’t let their pretty reputation trick you: the science of butterflies is grosser than you think!

There is more to butterflies than meets the eye. They aren’t just small, delicate, and pretty.

Narrated by a classic Monarch butterfly and full of fun lesser-known butterfly facts, this is the perfect book for young bug enthusiasts.

This book reminded me of the Magic School Bus butterfly episode. Too bad that episode didn’t include some of these weird facts.

An identification guide and fact sheet about each butterfly are included at the end of the book.

Here are a few pictures of some of the butterflies:
