The Life Cycle of a Butterfly - Book

A monarch born in the fall has two big challenges: metamorphosis and a two-way migration of about 4,000 miles. Bobbie Kalman's The Life Cycle of a Butterfly, from Crabtree Publishing, explains both in simple terms, illustrated with photographs and art.

Topics include where butterflies lay their eggs, the caterpillar as an "eating machine," the change from pupa to chrysalis to butterfly, monarch migration, and how people can protect butterflies. Butterfly facts and activity suggestions round out the 32-page paperback.
