Butterfly Eyes and Other Secrets of the Meadow

Readers will discover hidden worlds in a meadow in this unique combination of poetry and science. Author/poet Joyce Sidman introduces readers to animals and plants found in a meadow, often in riddle form. Visual clues to each riddle are found in the color saturated scratchboard illustrations by Beth Krommes. The next double page spread will answer the riddles and provide more information on each animal or plant. This meadow is a visual delight. It was a finalist for the Minnesota Book Award in 2007 and was selected for the Outstanding Science Trade Books list in 2007.
