Butterfly meets flower in this well illustrated picture book. Each page includes several butterflies and flowers. The butterflies are all idientified on the end pages, but are not named throughout the book. The flowers are, however, and one can make a game of identifying each butterfly on the pages, just as you might in your own garden, and take note of the flowers each species prefers. Butterflies in this book are categorized by family, so you can make an educated guess as to the type of those butterflies which fly into your yard that are not represented in the book. The large format is simple and uncluttered...perfect for emerging lepidopterists.

This book is exceptional by an exceptionally talented artist and author. The book was so well received that a Korean company has put out a version of it completely in the Korean
language.

The illustrations of butterflies and plants in this book are beautiful: very alluring. If I were a butterfly, I would definitely want to visit the flowers. The text gives an overview of butterflies and gardens and the flowers that attract butterflies.

This is a great book that my five year old really enjoys looking through and having read aloud to her. Pretty pictures and very informative. Great for a unit study if homeschooling.
