My 3 yr old loved hearing about how caterpillars turn into butterflies. He has been caterpillar obsessed and this book helped to explain metamorphasis in the most simplistic terms.

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.

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.

"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.

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.

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.

I purchased this book so I can show my grandchildren what will happen as our caterpillars grow and turn into butterflies. It is well written and beautifully illustrated. I highly recommend it.

I bought these to hand out as birthday party favors for the kids to take home with them, everyone loved them.

This is an excellent book to read with children prior to activating the Live Butterfly Garden Kit! My 3 year old nephew was thrilled as he went through the book to show me the different stages of the butterfly. The pictures are exceptionally beautiful. Live Butterfly Garden

I bought this book to alleviate my granddaughter's fear of butterflies. The author, although informative, went into painstaking horrific detail about the changing of caterpillar to butterfly. I love the illustrations (except for the scary caterpillar face). If I choose to keep this book I will black out all of the author's words with a black sharpie pen. I was very disenchanted. In the future it might be helpful to suggest an age range of children who might enjoy this book. I was not able to preview it or I would not have purchased it. Thumbs down.
