Just as good as the butterfly garden

I loved the butterfly garden, the first book in this series. I couldn't fathom how there could be a sequel. Then I read it. And wow, well written, great new and familiar characters, and an amazing storyline. If you read the first book and enjoyed it, read this one. If you didn't read the first one, go read that first because as disturbing as it is, it is so good. I can't wait until the third book comes out. I will definitely read it.

I'm a nature lover and I have been nurturing that interest in my 2 year old and he especially loves bugs right now.  This is a beautiful book. The illustrations are fantastic, it doesn't try to make bugs look too cutesy, but pretty realistic. The rhythm and rhyme is enjoyable to read and the hidden numbers is such a great touch and may be my toddler's favorite part at the moment. I will definitely check out her other books.  I happened upon this at the library, but I am definitely putting it and her other books on my son's wish list!

I was so excited to get a The Butterfly Garden for my amazon prime first book of the month. I probably read this book in about a day maybe a little longer. I could not put the book down it was so suspenseful that i had to keep reading.

A man who kidnaps beautiful women and turns them into his Butterflies. How these women live in their so called cage which just happens to be a beautiful garden. The horrifying things the Gardner and his sons do to the butterflies. I could go on for days and day about this book.

Just read it and you will fall in love with the book as much as i did.

What a great book. All the butterflies and flowers are well done. I just had my 5 year old niece ask for the picture that had the butterfly and roses. She was excited when she seen it and now she cant wait to start coloring with me.

My 4-year-old and I both love looking at and reading this book. The life cycle of a butterfly is fascinating - and inherently beautiful. The real photographs of stages of the butterfly make this book like a very cool science book in learning but the simplicity of the descriptions make it an easy, enjoyable read.

This book makes luring butterflies into your garden a sure thing! Just like fishing, learn what bait you need!

The Taylor guides have a quality that always makes me reach for them. They are not just a lot of pretty pictures like many gardening books...although this book is loaded with remarkable color photos. It is full of practical and factual information on establishing butterfly and bird havens in your yard. You don't have to shop anywhere else. It gives the requirements of plants that they suggest you consider...sun, shade, wet, dry, etc. so that you don't make wrong choices and wind up disappointed. I have seen several other books since butterfly gardens have become a popular idea and they didn't measure up to this one.

The butterfly Garden is really not something I thought I would like. It is not my usual taste at all. For some reason though it sounded interesting and I am so happy I gave it a try. I liked it so much that I read it again in the same week. It is dark and horrible yet so fascinating.

A beautiful book that entertains and educated. My boys were both delighted to learn about butterflies and ways they can help them. Highly recommended!

This was one of the books my son loved as a boy. Not necessarily outstanding literature. But it was amazing to see the journey taken by such a fragile creature as a butterfly all the way from the US northeast to Mexico. It was a fun and painless way to introduce a small child to some of the wonders of the natural world.

Just as perfect as Pillars Of The Earth. I loved this book in the same way I loved Pillars Of The Earth( Mr. Follett's novel touted by Oprah). The style is the same-- the setting is the same, albeit changed by the natural passage of time.  The characters are new but just as strong and endearing as those in the first book. In fact there are descendants of the original characters.  World Without End is a joy and a delight to read with all of the twists and turns, scandal and sex and machinations of the clergy and those who come in contact with them.  It is political and visceral-- beautiful and shocking. I was sorry when it ended, just the way I was sorry when I finished with Pillars Of The Earth.  I am proud to have these books-- I'll read them again in a couple of years so I can visit these people, places and circumstances again.

This is a sweet little story about a caterpillar who becomes a "beautiful butterfly."  My 16-month-old daughters got this book around their first birthday and love it.  It really holds their interest which is very much not the case for many longer books.  The artwork is simple, yet fascinating to young children (and their parents as well).  Little fingers poke at the holes in the food and my girls love the shorter pages because they're easy for them to turn.  The pictures and story help babies and toddlers learn to identify simple objects (moon, sun, leaf, caterpillar, butterfly, etc).
We read this book along with several others every night as part of our bedtime routine, but this is the only book I have yet to get tired of even though I have long since memorized it.  It's also the only book that holds my daughters' attention almost every single time.  It's a great addition to any baby or toddler library.

My grandchildren (ages 3 and 5) love butterflies; for the past two years they have raised Monarch butterflies from eggs and released them in their yard.  They totally enjoy this book; we have read it over and over.  Much of the information was already familiar to them, but they learned some new things, too.  It's presented in a lively, fun-filled way that the kids love.

Me and My son LOVED this book so much... we read it together and do the poses together. As a kids yoga teacher i think this book is both beautiful, and has a lovely sequence for kids. Besides making the kids do the poses, it helps them to appreciate nature since the story basically happens in the garden.

This the second book in this series.  It is just as good as the first book, "Blowing of Dandelions".  The characters from the first novel are brought over and woven into a wonderful story with new characters.  Miralee has a gift for blending these folks and their lives in special ways.  The humor and love show through in each book.  I love her development in the people.  I feel I know them and can imagine myself playing the part of one of the older women, if it were on screen.  Good read.  I enjoyed the way each novel has small icons of the flower in the title between the chapters.
