Summary: A family of bunnies goes to the Butterfly Place to learn about monarch butterflies. At the butterfly place, the kids, Minna and Pip learn from a guide called Bert, who teaches them about metamorphosis, feeding, and migration. At the end of the book, the author includes a guide to create a Monarch butterfly magnet, includes more facts about monarch butterflies, provides instructions for how to plant a butterfly garden, and provides ideas to learn more about monarch butterflies.

This book tells a story about a family of talking bunny's adventure to the local butterfly conservatory.The two children are guided through the stages of metamorphosis by the guide. They get to physically see each stage of a butterfly's life starting with a caterpillar. This would be a great book to use when teaching life cycles and it even features a couple activities to do with the class. ( )

This was a great primary text about monarch butterflies, taking a more interactive approach to the writing and suggesting additional activities that the reader can try in order to understand monarchs even better. The story is of a family of humanesque-rabbits that visit a monarch conservatory where they learn all about monarch butterflies. It's very extensive and very effectively presented. ( )

I did a butterfly program for Messy Art Club at the end of January and was icked out when I went to pull butterfly books and realized that while we had quite a few new ones, we also had some very old and icky titles as well. So I requested a big stack from other libraries to look at some additional titles (we already have Nic Bishop, Dianna Hutts Aston, etc.).

Monarch Butterfly by Gail Gibbons. I like Gail Gibbons' older titles better than her newer ones. This is a simple explanation of the life cycle of a monarch from egg through metamorphosis and migration. It includes instructions on hatching butterflies and some additional monarch butterfly facts. Unfortunately, I'm really going for more photographs in my nonfiction and this is just too old - 1989. Even updated, some things I think have changed, including new information on the monarch's migration path.

Fly, Monarch, Fly by Nancy Elizabeth Wallace. This information book about monarchs is written in the form of a story as a family of bunnies goes to a butterfly sanctuary. There are little crafts interposed. However, I found this a bit too long for reading aloud and I didn't really like the narrative. It was a bit bland. I have a lot of butterfly books in the picture books and if I want something to read aloud in storytime I'd use Nic Bishop's Moths and Butterflies or Dianna Hutts Aston's A Butterfly is Patient. The cut paper illustrations here aren't bad, but they're just too blocky and simplistic for the age of the audience that would sit still for this amount of text.

Eggs, Legs, Wings: A butterfly life cycle by Shannon Knudsen, illustrated by Simon Smith. This is an entry in Capstone's First Graphics series. I reviewed some of these for No Flying No Tights and was not a fan, but this one works pretty well. The comic format is excellent for showing the stages of the butterfly's life and while the illustrations aren't amazing, they're very life-like and as close to photographs as possible. The reading level is about grade 1-2 and this is something I'd put into the easy reader section (where I already have some butterfly books, including National Geographic's migrations series). I think this would be useful for kids wanted to read on their own about the butterfly life cycle.

How to Raise Monarch Butterflies: A step-by-step guide for kids by Carol Pasternak. This is a very detailed guide to a butterfly's life cycle, focused on raising them yourself or as a class. This would be most suitable for an older middle grade audience as the print is fairly small and there's a lot of detail and text. There are, however, lots and lots of gorgeous photographs. I can see a lot of teachers wanting to use this in their classrooms, or kids doing a science project.

Inside Butterflies by Hazel Davies, illustrations by Melisa Beveridge. This is the most complete guide. It has lots of different butterflies and is packed with photographs, facts, information, drawn diagrams and pictures, and more. It does have 10 fold-out pages and I thought it was really annoying and unnecessary that some opened to the side and some to the top. I was also a little disturbed that the final section on collection seems to be encouraging kids to start their own butterfly collection with no cautions on rare or endangered butterflies, not to mention that with all the historic collections available online and in museums, do we really need to kill any more butterflies?
However, despite these drawbacks, it really is the best new browsing guide I could find that includes lots of different butterflies and information.
