Adorable book for a preschooler
Wow this book brings so many childhood memories and now I can share them with my son. I love reading to him and I love how he can also interact touching the pages. It is a hard cover and is a quick read for your child. If your child is learning how to read then this is also the type of book for them since it does not have big words.

It's a classic. The size is perfect for small hands. The board book is durable, as well. It's a perfect gift for a baby shower.
A classic book to read to young children and later let them go through it on their own.
I recently realized that somewhere along my journey to adulthood, my childhood copy of this book had been lost. To rectify this, I purchased this Hardcover edition. It is an extremely high-quality library binding. It comes with a lovely dust cover and the actual cover is printed in equally high-quality illustrations, which I appreciate as many hardcover books rely on the dust cover to provide the cover illustrations, leaving the actual binding looking a little nondescript. The pages are thick, small hand friendly, and plastic coated paper so that the bright artwork really pops. It's a substantial upgrade to the copy I had as a child! I'm sure should I ever have the opportunity to have kids of my own, we will have a lot of fun with this book just as I did with my own mom.
This book is definitely a good book for children to learn about how butterflies are conceived. It's very interesting.
