Reviews
Handle With Care
Reviewed by Sara Masarik
There are many butterfly books available to young families. What makes this book unique is that it is not just a story about the life cycle of the butterfly. Instead, it is a fascinating look into the work of the Costa Rican butterfly farmers at El Bosque Nuevo and the scientists at Boston’s Museum of Science.
