 butterfly gardens July 5, 2008
While visiting the Butterfly Garden exhibit in Boston's Science Museum, we asked a person in charge which book he recommended for growing one's own butterfly garden (my son lives in Framingham, MA). The answer was Stokes, and he wrote it down for us. The museum does not sell it.
The number of butterflies identified is smaller than some guides, but the details about their preferred plants are very good. Since I bought the book for my son (I live in California), I cannot provide more details except that he and his wife are very happy with it.

 Adequate information for children to use July 5, 2007

The book was less informative than the title suggested. It was far from complete in its description of butterfly behavior, planting for butterfly gardens and in butterfly identification; however, I found the 2 pages on caterpillar identification very informative. Overall, for very basic knowledge, the book was helpful and would probably be enjoyed more by children. Children would especially like of the number of large photos. Also unlike what the title may suggest, the book read more like a magazine in length which may appeal to children more, too. The book is an easy read and can be completed cover to cover in under an hour. This book is for you if you have only a basic knowledge of butterflies and want a simple, easy to read reference. If you're looking for a substantial reference book, you may want to look elsewhere.

Yes, this is a good "beginner" book, but falls short on the amount of butterflies that are around. I have enjoyed learning from this book. It does have lots of garden ideas to attact butterflies. In general, it's a great beginner book. JT
