How to Be a Butterfly is an informative yet completely engaging book about the butterfly species. The illustrations are gorgeously done and give so many important details into the species as well as detailing all the unique characteristics.

This book gives you information about the butterfly lifecycles and also shares about so many butterflies species I had never even heard of previously. Our grade school aged children devoured this book and it is definitely one we will be adding to our home library.

A big thank you to Quarto Publishing and NetGalley for a copy of this ebook in exchange for an honest review. ( )

This book teaches children characteristics about butterflies, including their life cycle. It is not purely didactic though, instead talking about these insects through a story imagining what you would be like if you were a butterfly. The illustrations are lovely -- gentle and bold at the same time -- while showcasing the many types of butterflies that are out there in the world. This is a good book for discussing butterflies with young children, particularly those in elementary school, especially as a supplement to a larger unit or exploration on the topic. ( )

How to Be a Butterfly by Laura Knowles is a wonderfully illustrated book I requested from NetGalley and the review is voluntary. This book teaches the reader how to BE a Butterfly and the life cycle of butterflies. I give it a 3 star for writing the text since it seemed to tell the reader one thing then the next page tell the reader another thing...bit odd if you're young and trying to figure things out.
The illustrations are definitely a 5 star performance! So get the book and just look at the pictures! Nice book! ( )

This lovely book is one I can see parents or older siblings reading to younger children. The illustrations are beautiful detailing a wide number of butterflies that include their scientific names as well. The butterfly parts are shown as is the life cycle of the butterfly. This is a book I can see buying for my granddaughter or as a gift to give to any child.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto for the ARC – This is my honest review.
