\"\"<\/a>Did you know that there are 20,000 ways to be a butterfly? That's a lot of butterflies. Maybe you need to have a long curly proboscis, or lay your eggs in\u00a0 just the right spot, so the caterpillar babies can eat as soon as they hatch. <\/strong><\/p>\n

One thing you will need, is to have dazzling, bold colours, which look fantastic when you fly or are just staying still. And two antennae to smell for the flowers pollen and to help with balance. Some butterflies are very large with long wing spans. Another fact is that if your antennae are fuzzy, that means that you are not a butterfly but a moth!<\/p>\n

Laura Knowles<\/a> is the author of this exceptional book and she manages to choose just the right words, albeit just a few, to show diversity, interest and a real joy in the natural world.<\/p>\n

Catell Ronch<\/a> is the illustrator and her images of a number of coloured butterflies are stunning, each image is a true representation and in bold detail.\"\"<\/p>\n

Words and Pictures<\/a> are the publishers, part of Quarto Knows, and have an excellent way of publishing a great range of non fiction books which will appeal and interest young children.<\/p>\n

We recommend for ages 2- 7, and especially early years, but How to Be a Butterfly will be a book that an adult will also pick up at the end of the day and not put down.<\/p>\n
