This book has a lot of information about butterflies, and has intriguing pictures. However the text is difficult to read. This book would benefit from functionality over beauty. As well the writing was really choppy at times. I had to reread several sentences before understanding what was being said. It is a picture book designed to be read to a child, not for a child to read. The beginning of the story gives factual information about butterflies. The second half of the story gives a child appropriate mystery that is solved.
