Beautifully illustrated--and informative! August 27, 2008
This book is not only gorgeous to look at but also informative in a very non-didactic way. Highly recommended.
Great book, from a great author! June 23, 2008
I just adore the books from this author, but this butterfly book is a "must have" in your child's library collection. We look at this book constantly while we sit on our back porch admiring our own butterflies. The book has taught my daughters so much!

This is another great alphabet book by Jerry Pallota. Who else could make an alphabet book series more interesting than he could? I learn something new everytime.

Nature's way of meditation beautifully illustrated in the Butterfly Alphabet Book. Perfectly informative for children of all ages. The illustrations are so touchingly created to be stared at for hours...when you cannot find a real butterfly, this is the book to read.
 Facts and pictures about butterflies using the alphabet October 6, 1998
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
A wonderful way to learn the alphabet is using nature to represent each letter. Jerry Pallotta has offered yet another text with this format to add to his previous fifteen Nature Alphabet Books. This time, Pallotta marches out different species of butterflies for each letter, from "A is for Apollo" through "Z is for Zephyr Metalmark." The text on each page invites children to pour over pictures of butterflies while associating each butterfly with its name. Readers must look closely to discover hidden characteristics, hunting , for example, to find the poodle face on the "Dogface" butterfly's wings. Realistic, colorful pictures display each butterfly as if momentarily suspended before a reader who dares not breath for fear of frightening the creature away. The older butterfly guru can learn new information about butterflies, where each lives, and a fact about each-the Magdalene Alphine lives high in the mountains and has black wings that absorb sunlight and keep it warm. For young elementary children, Jerry Pallotta intertwines reading and learning as he provides pictures and information about butterflies from all parts of the world while teaching the alphabet.
