Review by School Library Journal Review

Gr 2-5-Murawski's own field research informs her introduction to butterflies, well-illustrated with arresting photographs. The chapter on migration, including maps of monarch routes, considers the mystery of butterfly navigation. The author encourages readers to start butterfly gardens at home and school and record their observations of insect visitors. (c) Copyright 2011.

Review by Horn Book Review

Murawski details her experiences photographing butterflies. Her intimate study of passion vine butterflies in particular leads readers to a broader understanding and appreciation of these creatures. Detailed information, including sidebars (e.g., "How to attract butterflies") and "Facts at a Glance," will intrigue budding lepidopterists. Crisp photographs of these vibrantly colored creatures add appeal. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind. Copyright 2010 of The Horn Book, Inc. All rights reserved.
