The Butterfly Alphabet

Can be used as an alphabet book for the youngest learners, a beautiful 'abstract art in nature' book for those even younger, in poetry class, and as mentor text and mentor art. Or can be just plain enjoyed by all. Plenty of additional notes in the back to make it even more educational. I have no idea why it's not more popular... needs better publicity?

I'm recommending it to every one of my friends and followers here as most of you read children's books at least some of the time, and this is really so much more ... could even be a coffee table book, honestly.

Beautiful! A truly beautiful collection of super-closeup photos of markings of butterflies and moths that form letters of the alphabet. The rhyming couplets for each page are delightful. Each insect is identified by name on the alphabet page, and more in detail in an addendum at the end. Love it!

Summary: this book is able to combine the patterns of butterflies and the alphabet in a rather interesting way. The author has the pictures and names of 26 moths and butterflies, and each one has a marking on it that can be interpreted to look like a letter of the alphabet, and a little poem using the letter on the page.
Review: this makes a good informational book by combining learning the alphabet and teaching it in a unique way by showing how nature displays it in the animals that wander the earth. This way I believe is more special because it can link it to something children might find cool or beautiful, butterflies.

This book of natural photography contains images of moths and butterflies from around the globe. Hidden in the designs on the butterfly wings are each letter of the alphabet. The images are real, not altered or computer animated. As a bonus, the photographer also added the numbers 0-9 found on butterfly wings. Young children will enjoy the colorful photographs and finding the letters and numbers hidden in wing designs.

This book is great for older grades! The pictures in this book are very interesting. I could not imagine how long it took to find the entire alphabet hidden in the wings of countless butterflies! This book also offers information and facts about many different butterflies. Great resource book!
