Today's featured company:
DK Publishing: Butterfly
A little more about them:
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

We love DK books! The photography is gorgeous, and, by the way, we could use the Butterfly book THIS WEEK. But I don't suppose there's any way for that to happen, so I'll just move on and wish...

It is much too difficult to decide! Who wouldn't like a whole library of DK books, especially for homeschool??? :)
If I had to choose today, I would pick the book on TREES. With 500 kinds, we should be able to identify most every one we come across!
Love this giveaway!

I am a collector of arts. Most of my pieces are butterfly themed. The book you feature stopped my breath! What a wonderful coffee table piece! The baby oriented book FARM was sweet. The Antiques Price Guide would be handy! Thanx

I love DK books. There are way to many to choose from, but I would say that Eyewitness books, the Watch Me Grow series and the DK readers are among my many favorites.
