In Butterfly Inn, Nancy Derey Riley teaches young readers all about butterflies. They will learn about the butterfly's life cycle, the many butterfly species, the food they eat, their habitat, and how they survive the winter months - some hiding under dead plants until spring and others migrating to warmer climates. They will also discover the difference between butterflies and moths. Since many butterfly species are on the edge of extinction, this picture book shows schools how they can plan and grow a garden with plants that will attract different butterfly species.
I love how Nancy Derey Riley tells the story using rhyming words, making it fun to read aloud for kids to listen. Children will learn many new words about butterflies and the names of many butterfly species, like admirals, monarchs, and swallowtails. I love the pictures of different butterflies with a tag showing the English and Latin names. The book also has images with the names of some of the garden plants. Children will love to listen and sway to the song made from this story. The glossary is a handy reference guide to refresh their memory, and they will love to learn other facts about butterflies. Butterfly Inn will help children become more aware of nature and our responsibility to preserve it. The book also shows them an easy way to make a difference by creating a small butterfly garden at home or school.
