Robert F. Sibert Medal winner Bugs, of all kinds, were considered to be "born of mud" and to be "beasts of the devil." Why would anyone, let alone a girl, want to study and observe them? One of the first naturalists to observe live insects directly, Maria Sibylla Merian was also one of the first to document the metamorphosis of the butterfly. In this visual nonfiction biography, richly illustrated throughout with full-color original paintings by Merian herself, the Newbery Honor-winning author Joyce Sidman paints her own picture of one of the first female entomologists and a woman who flouted convention in the pursuit of knowledge and her passion for insects.

Lucious, Gorgeous, silky & pillowy
Color: Cream White, Size: Throw (50" x 60")
High End Quality!!! I just unpacked and draped it over a railing-to just look at in Awe & then the feel. I imagine it feels like your in Heaven-on the wisps if clouds. Not thin, I remember my mom wrapping herself in mink (in the day before they knew better), but the Luxury of both feel and the look-OMG
I got the white cream bubble.
2) only complaint is generic wash label. I wish there was a brand Label “Lotus Karen”. To the business company, 🙏Please consider putting your brand name on the Label. It’s outstanding!!! Claim your name for the outstanding quality you have in these throws and blankets. Large 50 x60

Super Soft, warm and looks beautiful
Color: Khaki, Size: Queen (90" x 90"), Color: Khaki, Size: Queen (90" x 90")
Super soft. This is my 4th faux fur blanket and this one is by far the softest. Makes it a bit slippery it's so soft but not issue for me. Color beautiful and depending on the light ranges from a bone white to a khaki. Looks expensive. The velvet reverse side also very soft and cozy. Fluffed up beautifully after 20 minutes in dryer when first received. No shedding.Looks great as comforter on bed.

A Must-Have for Cozy Comfort!
I recently purchased the Serenhom Super Soft Cozy Faux Fur Plush Throw Blanket, and I am absolutely in love with it! If you’re looking for a blanket that combines luxury with comfort, this is the one.
First of all, the texture is incredibly soft. The faux fur is plush and velvety to the touch, making it perfect for curling up on the couch with a good book or during movie nights. It’s lightweight enough to use year-round but still warm and cozy, especially on chilly evenings.
The quality is also impressive. Even after several washes, the blanket has maintained its softness and hasn’t shed at all—a major plus for a faux fur throw. The stitching is strong, and it holds up well to daily use.
In terms of aesthetics, this blanket adds a touch of elegance to any room. Whether you drape it over your bed, couch, or favorite chair, it instantly makes the space look more inviting.
Overall, I highly recommend the Serenhom Super Soft Cozy Faux Fur Plush Throw Blanket to anyone looking to add comfort and style to their home. It’s a perfect gift for yourself or a loved one!
