What is Ben Plants a Butterfly Garden about?
Ben loves flowers and butterflies, so he decides to grow a garden where butterflies will feel at home. With help from his friends Worm and Ladybird, he plants seeds and waits patiently as tiny shoots appear, leaves unfold and colourful flowers bloom. Lift the flaps to discover what is happening beneath the soil, learn how plants and butterflies grow, and enjoy a surprise pop-up ending. Gentle storytelling, simple facts and real seeds introduce young children to gardening and the natural world.
