The Butterfly Book

The Fussy Little Butterfly

The Fussy Little Butterfly, the story of a sometimes petulant critter (aren't we all?) and its stalwart guardian who we never see except for her blue eyes, is a charming gentle mystery. The solving of the mystery is an important tip for children on how to care for their own live butterflies, and perhaps all living creatures.

Jaenet Guggenheim plunged with great fervor into this marvelous project. She spent whole days and months with the artists, fabricators, and paleontologists photographing and recording their instructive comments, which are woven into the text of this book. You will hear their voices clearly throughout the chapters. What you hear may surprise you! This book also features two special sections: one pertaining to the many opportunities that artists can find working with a museum, and a glossary.
