This is a sweet book. My daughter is two and enjoys it immensely. We make up stories about the butterflies as we go along. The book itself is very basic, just pictures of different colored butterflies with the corresponding number in the picture shown. That's not a surprise considering the name of the book though! One cool feature of the book is that it has the detailed names of the butterfly types on the back cover. It a fun book to use your imagination and also great to teach numbers and colors. Highly recommended!
You can never show young children enough books about colors and counting, and this BUTTERFLY Colors and Counting is a big hit with both our 3 year olds. Komaire, loves the words especially and it's helping her with her developmental language that way, while Yazama our little boy nephew is more into Legos, but finds this a fun way to try to remember color names and practice counting. A great addition to your early childhood book collection.
I believe this book will become the "standard" color and counting learning book for parents and early childhood schools. A mix of exceptionally vibrant colors and textures, hypnotic backgrounds, very high quality board book materials, beautiful and realistic butterflies (their butterfly names are on the back cover), and a unique very simplistic design makes it better than any other early childhood counting book. All this, and these aren't even the best attributes. The best attribute is...the whole book overall and all together. Mark my words and remember I said this here - This book works so well. Children will walk or crawl around the house with it and will not want to put it down. It will replace the blankie or special toy. It's simplicity is so well done and captivating that children will be capable of learning colors, counting 1 to 10, and reading the color and number text quickly. There's even a cute poem on the back cover that young children will be reciting before long.Kirkus just gave this book a STAR REVIEW, which is only given to the best books of EXCEPTIONAL MERIT. Many of the world's best authors only dream of such a rating.OK, OK, there's got to be at least one negative - It's retail price is too low. It's perceived value may be undersold AND it will cause this book to always sell out so quickly. I really tried to find a negative :)Try to check it out in person if you can. The online views don't do it total justice.
The illustrations of different species of butterflies teaches little ones more than just their numbers and colors. ( LIsts on the back cover teaches the reader too ) ha Ten colors are taught, which is nice.
Nature in all it's colorful glory and counting come together in this vibrant board book for little ones. The vibrant butterflies will fill little ones with wonder as they count each butterfly.Written by Jerry Palotta, illustrated by Shennen Bersani.#boardbook #colors #butterflies #counting
This is a very cute book for very young children. The colors are bright, the pictures are plain and easy to see. It is very nice in a strong hardcover, and babies love it.
Very colorful and beautiful pictures overall; excellent counting book because the butterfly are big enough for small children to count individually.
Nice images-great colors-my girl loves counting and butterflies...so this is perfect. Highly suggested. Not too much more that I can say...
