Butterfly books

July is a time for butterflies and I’m spending the month sharing ways that you can teach your learners about these beautiful insects through butterfly books and activities. I’ll share these ideas now in the month of the North American Butterfly Count, you bookmark the ideas you love, and come back when you need them during the school year.

In this episode, I share 6 butterfly books. Listen in to discover some amazing picture books about butterflies, their characteristics, adaptations, and life cycles!

• Waiting for Wings by Lois Ehlert
