Favorite childhood book

I absolutely love this book! Great for children but as an adult it reminds me of who I am...

Flutterby

I love this book. My grandmother bought it for me (hard cover version)when I was little & I still have it. It is about a very tiny winged horse named Flutterby who does not know what she is. As she tries to figure out who/what she is she tries to be a bee and later an ant. At the end a butterfly shows her her reflection and tells her that she is unique and that she should just be herself. I think this is a great story for any child to learn.

Find yourself

I first read this book as a little girl who loved it for the beautiful pictures of such a cute creature as Flutterby,as i grew older & began to understand the true meaning of the story I loved it even more.My hope would be that everyone can use the moral of this story for themselves-Find out who you are & dont be afraid to be yourself.

Sweet variation of The Ugly Duckling

This is a great little book for elementary school girls who like fantasy. It's about accepting yourself and realizing that you don't need to be just like other people you meet to be a valuable person. Flutterby the tiny pegasus hatches from a cocoon and sets out to figure out what she is. After she makes funny but failed attempts to blend in with a beehive and an ant colony, a wise butterfly shows Flutterby her reflection in a puddle. If you considered getting "Stellaluna", but the mother-loss angle bothered you, this is a very good substitute.

A must have in the series!

Flutterby is the enchanting tale (as all Serendipity books are) of a small pegasus set on discovering what she is. Her hilarious antics would leave anyone smiling. For collectors, this is a must have, by far. The artwork is astounding, but nothing less is expected from Robin James!
