Reviews
Beautifully written and illustrated, Lela and the Butterflies is jam-packed with interesting facts about butterfly biology, ecology and butterfly gardening, craftily woven into the story of a little girl named Lela who loves butterflies. The book is so entertaining and appealing that readers young and old will acquire butterfly knowledge without even realizing that they are learning. - Johanna Davey, Hershey Gardens
