You caught a special butterfly that only you can see
It will stay and read with you and flutter merrily
It's nourished by your excitement and creativity
Guess its name and it will stay with you happily

Bookish Butterfly is a bookmark micro-game created to encourage players young and old alike to read. Using names in books, players cross off letters that the names start with. When they're left with one letter that hasn't been crossed off, the name they find for that letter is the name of their butterfly. After players are done reading, the game can be used to keep their place in their books.

Includes two full colored versions of the following:

  • A single double-sided bookmark to print for just one person.
  • A bookmark you can fold and glue/tape to keep from having to deal with double-sided things.
  • A sheet of 4 of each style to print out for friends.

Printer friendly versions and screenshots are on the way.

Hello! I recently purchased this bookmark game, which is super cute and I am excited to play it! I was just a little confused by the rules. What happens if I run across names with the same letter multiple times? It also says that three marks gives a free letter to cross off - would that be three marks of different letters or is that just three marks in general (relating to my previous question if we are allowed to mark the same letters multiple times). Thank you so much! 

Thanks for your interest! 

So your second question does indeed answer the first x3 Every three marks on the same letter allows you to cross off any other letter. That way you don't get stuck never finding a name that starts with a rare letter.

I'll review the bookmark and see if there's a better way to make it clear. Thank you again!

Yes! Thank you so much for your clarification! Makes sense. That is what I was thinking too, because of the rare letter names. Very cool! I look forward to playing it! Have a wonderful week!

Awesome! Please enjoy, and have a lovely week!

If you have a dollar, definitely give this one a go! You can print them out on cardstock to go along with the books you give your Bookwyrm friends, or use it as encouragement to get through the massive To-Be-Read stack that's still on your bedside table!
