The text was nothing special to me, but the illustrations are bright and vivid. It's a nice board book, and I feel sure the kiddos would have appreciated it if they had seen it where it was buried in the stack of books.

The story's a nice tale of a glasswing butterfly with clear wings who loves lovely flowers and colors. She is swept away and ends up in a city where she helps (along with a ladybug, ant, and pigeon) the community garden grow into a lovely patch of color surrounded by the gray, etc. of the city concrete and steel. There's a note on Glasswings and Pollination at the beginning of the book. And the colors and illustrations are absolutely lovely.

A young boy's bedtime storybook comes alive for him as his mother reads it. He learns about bear and hibernation along the way. Cute and I like the book coming alive through reading. Not much more to say.

The pictures look like posters or adds They are vivid and catchy. Each has a saying or quip with it and is captioned with a fact about the animal pictured. Example - The tiger is "All Ears" and a fact is given about the tiger's hearing.
