I remember when I first came upon this author and it was since of my elementary school. We had an assembly where the author was invited and ever since he told me there was a Julia butterfly I have been hooked with him.

The book writing is simple, large letters and easy for any child to read,

especially with very young beginners. The author uses each entry to describe some fun facts for the children

The other thing that will catch the reader's attention is the beautiful detailed artwork and the interactive reading style although it isn't as much as some of the other books. Instead the author does comments that are simple to understand while setting morals in the book.

The whole time that you are learning from this book you are having too much fun to know that you are doing any learning at all. And within a few pages are a great white shark swimming around and even though he doesn't have a letter you get to learn about him before the surprise at the end.

Definitely a literary gem!
