Review: Very informative, thorough, nice tones for young readers, stunning photography. It will grab you! - My children, husband and I have been raising and releasing Monarchs for two years now. How I wish I had had this resource when we started! Carol's book is a delight to the brain, the eye, and the heart. It is not only well-written and informative; it is wonderfully organized and absolutely beautifully laid out. It is hard to have a book that is both a quick, satisfying read AND a thorough and easy resource to look back on again and again. Carol has accomplished this. The text is both fun and efficient--perfect for children and even adult beginners. My eldest daughter, who is in early elementary, devoured the book on sight (after wrestling it away from me!) Once they get a small taste, your children (and you!) could easily get hooked on this easy and incredibly satisfying "hobby." Carol will lead your family through the way graciously and thoroughly. And that's just the text and knowledge...if those don't blow you away, the photography will. Many of the shots are taken by the author and her family; she credits the photos taken by others. These are some absolutely amazing images, laid out so nicely. Simple, thought-provoking and inspiring. Once your children have feasted on the thorough but easily digested text and the gorgeous pictures, they'll get a taste of why this "hobby" is so important to their environment and, in all mushy honestly, to their hearts as well. Why collect, raise, and release Monarch butterflies? Many answers, surprising facts, and thoughtful ideas await your family. It'll open your children's hearts to nature and the environment as well, and leave them wanting more--and wanting to do more. Please consider adding this book to your collection (or your children's collection!) in the interest of Monarch butterfly conservation, or just plain old-fashioned science fun and awe. It's a window to the magic and simplicity of nature and a wonderful tribute to the gentle and mystifying Monarch butterfly.
Review: Update - How To Raise Monarch Butterflies: a Step-by-Step Guide for Kids - Update: It has been 5 years since finding this book in 2019. In those 5 years, I have raised and released 279 Monarchs! I have purchased numerous copies of this book to give as gifts to people who are interested in Monarchs. They don't have to raise them, just planting flowers Monarchs prefer or some milkweed is very helpful. I donate a lot milkweed seeds to the city I live in. (I gave them two, 1-gallon ice cream pails filled with seeds last year from the 317 milkweed plants in my yard.) They spread the seeds around city property to help the Monarchs and other pollinators. I have learned a lot and had fun raising Monarch butterflies! This book is FANTASTIC!!! The step-by-step guide is for ANYONE (not just kids) interested in helping to increase the Monarch population. I didn't realize until I read the book, that only 1 in 100 Monarch eggs in the wild survive to to become a butterfly. There are actual photos (not artwork / drawings) that are terrific and very helpful in following the step-by-step guide. The text in the book is easy to understand for either kids or adults, while not talking down to adults (I am over 50). I bought the book in June and have so far already raised and released six (6) Monarch butterflies (3 - females and 3 - males) with more in various stages of growth. Yes, the book even shows you how to determine the sex of the Monarch butterfly. To raise Monarchs from egg to caterpillar to chrysalis to butterfly has been a lot of fun and a great learning experience for me. I highly recommend this book, How to Raise Monarch Butterflies: A Step-by-Step Guide for Kids (How It Works) by Carol Pasternak.
