DK Publishing: BUTTERFLY Book

This giveaway is closed.

Today's featured company:
DK Publishing: Butterfly

A little more about them:
9780756633400h_2 Butterfly is a photographic portrait of the world’s butterflies. Butterfly is a celebration of the dazzling variety of colors, patterns, habitats and behavior of these insects, with breathtaking photography by Thomas Marent, author of DK’s award-winning Rainforest (September 2006).  Incredibly detailed, Butterfly visually documents each stage of the lifecycle, from the insect’s first struggle to free itself from the chrysalis and take flight, to the life-and-death dramas of courtship, reproduction and defiance.  With more than 500 photographs of butterflies and moths from around the world and engaging and informative text—including the personal stories behind many of the images—this book will open your eyes to the wonders of life on the wing.

Some examples of what they do:

What they're giving away:
Five winners will each receive their own copy of the new book Butterfly.

To leaf through Butterfly, Thomas Marent’s spectacularly vivid and richly detailed photos of the creatures he adores, is not only to exult at the symmetrical perfection of pattern and design on an extended wing but also to marvel at the caterpillar’s exquisite potential. — O Magazine

Comments

I know that my sons would go nuts over The Big Book of Transportation. We have a lot of DK books and I love the pictures in them.

My kids would love "Dinosaur," "Volcano," and "Pyramid." And the Butterfly book looks really neat.

There is not one book from DK we wouldn't want. LOL! We have been buying DK books for as long as I can remember. The quality of the books is great and the pictures, no matter what the subject is are always AMAZING!

I would buy the Eyewitness Travel books. I LOVE to travel but my spouse is afraid to fly so there is no way I can go off on adventures in Italy or Greece or places like that. But I can certainly "travel" there in books.

DK books are awesome! My oldest is now into gardening, so she'd love the First Garden Activity Book.

All the DK books are amazing and terrific. I would pick the eyewitness travel guide to Italy so I can start planning my 10 year anniversary trip.

We have almost every Eyewitness book DK publishes. I have never seen anything but top quality material from them...Pyramid is my boys' favorite!

My girls would enjoy the Go Diego Go book and the First Space Encyclopedia.

I'd love to get the animal one. But butterflies are sort of an obsession of mine, so it would be great to have that one, too!

We have been fans of DK books for years. They have taken my children from board books on through high school. Our most recent favourite has been the book Cool Stuff 2.0, but honestly, I would be hard-pressed to find a DK book that I didn't like. What they do, they do very well. I can't say enough good things about them.

My favorite book is the childrens book
Earth. The photos are great.

Just about any Eyewitness book would be our fave! The Human Body one would be a big hit right now. We love DK!

We love the Touch & Feel books, like the Farm!

Okay, that was sort of like asking us to go to Amazon and tell you which book we liked best. Hard.

But I'd go with the Atlas, or First Atlas, or Geography of the World right now...

Math Wizard looks really cool. As well as Disney The Wild.

DK books rock !!!!!!!!!

nice books i would love to read one

I really like the Children's Illustrated Dictionary.

DK is great. I would get the Toddler Cookbook

Don't make this one easy, do you?!? LOL. I love books, and these all look fantastic. I'd have to say that for me right now (selfish? maybe!) I would love the Do It Yourself Home Improvement book....I have a lot to learn! As for my kids, they'd love the Cirque Du Soleil book, Lift the Flap Things that Go, and any (all!?!?!) of the Eyewitness Books. What a fantastic series! I have a few of them from when I taught second grade, and they are wonderful.

Cool Stuff Science Kit looks great!

That Butterfly book is absolutely fabulous

Butterfly would be an amazing book to own!!!
Love DK!

How awesome. I also like the Pick Me Up book, one of the science books, or the book on ancient Rome.

My grandson is so interested in Volcanos and science books. The butterfly book would really facinate him. Hope I win!!!

We'd definately be able to use this: Your Essential Guide to the First 4 years and any of the toddler books! I have a 3 year old and 13 month old boy and a baby on the way in September! We are all about learning through books!
