Pretty isn't it? One Hundred Butterflies
is a beautiful photo book filled with pictures of...you guessed it, butterflies and moths. The are all photographed on a black background, which really makes their colors "pop". What I found really interesting is now different some of them look on the top and on the bottom. Each photo is labeled with the name of the butterfly or moth as well as where it lives. Scattered through the book are a few literary quotes about butterflies and the center has a three page excerpt from Cecil's Books of Natural History, a 1881 book. My five year old enjoyed looking at it, and she had an audience over her shoulder while she did. I think everyone is fascinated by these beautiful insects.About Author
