November 29, 2018After owls, butterflies are my favourite animal, and I loved discovering new to me species within this book.
Each of the butterflies included - 40 in total - has their own double page spread, with one page being a stunning illustration, and the other detailing information on that specific butterfly such as habitat, lifespan, wingspan and more.
A great little book for any butterfly lover.
