I found this book to be very engaging. This is a better book about a grandparent dying than Grandpa’s stories. It’s sweet how it shows the relationship between a grandfather and his grandchildren. When a dead butterfly was found, their grandfather teaches his grandchildren about butterflies and its life cycle. Soon after their grandfather died, the life cycle of the butterfly’s eggs came to life. I thought the butterfly symbolized their grandfather looking out for them. I’d use this book to talk to my students about a grandparent’s death. ( )

I'm sure some little kid out there related to this book and it helped him/her be at peace with death and learn about a person's legacy, but I'm not that kid. I thought that "Remember the Butterflies" lacked feeling and emotion. The story line had potential, but it fell short and was boring. ( )

A girls' garandfather explains about the death of butterflies. After their grandfather died, they rememeber about butterflies.
