Butterflies Are Pretty ... Gross! by Rosemary Mosco

Yes, butterflies are pretty, but there are plenty of gross facts about butterflies, too! This book would make an excellent school age readaloud and if I was still doing afterschool storytimes, this is definitely one I would take. The narrator addresses the audience, frequently warning the reader to stop reading the book unless they want to be truly weirded out. Facts include tidbits like some butterflies eat poop, some butterflies have faces on their butts to trick their enemies, and that a caterpillar's skin turns into the shell of its chrysalis (I did not know that!!). Great for kids who like gross out science and a fun addition to your spring readalouds.
