Bye, Bye, Butterflies! (Tell-me-more Storybook) - Tapa dura

Praise for The Imaginary Garden by Andrew Larson: "As fresh and vibrant as a spring bouquet, this joyous offering willdelight children, particularly young artists, throughout the year." -Booklist Starred Review
"More than the gardening or even the flowers, the dance of imaginationbetween grandfather and grandchild is sweetly filigreed across thepages." - Kirkus Reviews"

"Bye, Bye, Butterflies!, an ideal blend of story and science, introduces young readers to the butterfly life cycle through a fictional narrative.
"There are few exceptional picture books on the market that successfully meld story and science without sounding too technical, too wordy, or just plain boring. Bye, Bye, Butterflies! serves as a model for being able to hold a young child's attention while listening/reading a compelling storyline with an interesting character ? and sneaking in some really cool science, too. . . Adults and children alike will appreciate and enjoy all aspects of this book, from plot to text to illustration."
Highly Recommended. **** / 4
