There were reasons I enjoyed this book and reasons I did not enjoy this book. I enjoyed this book because the illustrations are very interesting. Only the people and other key things are in color, everything else is black and white. For example on the first page it is about Emily, Ben, and the butterflies. The only thing that is drawn in color are Emily, Ben, and the butterfly. There is a lot of detail in the grass, flowers, and dog but it is all black and white so the main ideas stand out.

Some of the dialogue is larger and some of the other words are larger. For example on one page there are three sentences and only the words "white butterfly" are in a larger font.
