| Butterfly Girls by Beryl Reichenberg |
Written and illustrated by Beryl Reichenberg, both
books, When
Caterpillars Dream and Butterfly
Girls are indeed fun educational reads for kids ages 3 to 6.
If your kids like Monarch butterflies and have a passion
to learn more about them, then they’ll definitely like When
Caterpillars Dream and Butterfly
Girls.
When Cathy the caterpillar (When
Caterpillars Dream) awoke from her long sleep and discovered she was a butterfly;
she had to learn new survival skills - what do butterflies eat? How do they
live and where do they go for the winter? Flying for the first time was
exciting for Cathy. The reader is taken on a journey of exploration and
discoveries as Cathy learns the joys of being a butterfly.
Butterfly
Girls opens a child’s imagination to wonderful and
magical things. As Beauty the butterfly show sisters Ashley and Becky, how to
have fun in a field full of butterflies, kids are motivated to engage in this
story and will want to add their own imaginative adventure!
The books teach about Monarch butterflies; their
flight patterns, eating habits, and have glossaries with the
definitions for unfamiliar words. The
illustrations, of course so unique to Reichenberg, are blended with photography
of scenes of nature. This lends to the realistic imagery of the book. They are
simple, bright, and engaging; inspiring kids to try their hand at drawing their
own Monarch butterfly.
The books can be used to teach pre-schoolers and
kindergarteners about Monarch butterflies, and of course they make for good read-aloud
bed-time stories too!
