Filled with bright, eye-catching illustrations, Dinosaurs Roar, Butterflies Soar! is a great book for any dinosaur or butterfly lover. The book discusses butterflies’ impact on the earth over 100 million years ago, pollinating flowers which in turn gave all dinosaurs, both herbivores and carnivores, more food, which in turn helped the dinosaurs to thrive. There is also an illustrated time line and additional dinosaur and butterfly facts at the end of the book. A teacher's guide is included. (Reading Level: Grade K-3)

Papillon is a memoir by Henri Charriere. It was published in 1970, 25 years after the events of the book. It was translated into English from the original French by author Patrick O'Brian. It has been described as an autobiographical novel or a fictional novel by critics, but Charrière always maintained that the account was accurate and true. The book's title is Charriere's nickname, derived from a butterfly tattoo on his chest (papillon being the French word for butterfly).
The Collector was Fowles' first published novel. The title character is Frederick, a butterfly collector, who decides to "collect" the long-admired-from-a-distance object of his fantasy, an art student named Miranda.
