As well as winning many awards for her books, including the Children’s Book of the Year, Jacqueline is a former Children’s Laureate, and in 2008 she was appointed a Dame. Tina is horrified when she's paired up with angry bully Selma, who nobody wants to be friends with. But when Miss Lovejoy asks them to help her create a butterfly garden in the school playground, Tina discovers she doesn't always need her sisters - and that there's a lot more to Selma than first meets the eye. With over 1200 performances every year, we are always on the lookout for new shows. If you are a producer (or self-produced artist) we’d love to hear from you. When Mrs. Lovejoy asked Selma and Tina to help her develop a butterfly garden in the school the story changes. Tina develops her confidence in the process and becomes Selma's best friend.

It’s a quiet story. From the start, my daughter was completely absorbed by the simple, everyday intricacies of Tina’s life, because the writing is detailed and full of voice. I was sometimes surprised by what made my daughter laugh or gasp, not realizing how her sense of humor and/or awareness of the world and relationships between people had matured. I grew a little bored in the first third, to be honest, because it was so very everyday: school, a mean girl, etc. I was beginning to wonder if my biggest pleasure would be watching my daughter’s.Butterflies sessions will be a range of hall based and community based sessions, where your child takes part in a range of structured activities. In the Butterflies club we will be working on promoting independence and practising social skills within the groups. The Butterfly Club is yet another Wilson masterpiece; brilliantly written, very accessible, just a joy to read. What great book , the cover is beautiful you can get it as present for little girl, the pics are funny and very nicely done. When the book arrived my two boys fought over it, one read couple chapters ,then the other read some. but my younger one stopped reading because he is more into action and he is fussy about what to read( and I think it was longer than he can handle, he is 6). But my 8 year old loved it , he said it was funny and great read. The characters in the story are crafted very thoughtfully. Mrs. Lovejoy is my favorite character in the story. In the beginning, I hated her for being so strict with students. She didn't give permission to triplet to seat together but as I read further, I understood Mrs. Lovejoy better. She has a purpose to it. In the beginning, I felt that the story was moving at a slow pace but later on it became very interesting.

This is a story of a triplet namely, Tina, Phil and Maddie. Phil and Maddie look identical but Tina looked a lot different. They are bigger and stronger than Tina. They both always took care of teeny tiny Tina. Tina has never been alone to any where, not even in the school. They were always together. Phil and Maddie thought that it is their responsibility to look after Tina and to protect her from the school bullies.The Wednesday and Friday fish special is fried only, though there is some baked fish on the regular menu. Despite Mum's, Phil or Maddie's protests, Tina will be next to Selma. Selma is famous for being a bully and Tina is her ideal victim. Tina learns though that she can stand on her own two feat and that some people aren't as bad as they seem. Tina has new interests and exciting things happen when she is asked to make a butterfly garden with her least favourite classmate. This is the first book in the series of The Butterfly Club, and introduces the three main characters who become time travellers. It is a fantastic adv... In 2004 we started with 3 groups based in Coláiste na Trócaire, Rathkeale. Each group had it's own Saturday each month. When Croí na nÓg was built we moved our club into it. At the end of the book, there are few exercises for kids to do such as- tips to make your own butterfly garden, a recipe of Tina and Selma's butterfly cakes, a life-cycle of a butterfly and an information about few species of different butterflies.
