This colorful first nature picture book, written by Judy Allen and illustrated by Tudor Humphries, gives children aged 4 to 7 an inside look at the everyday life of a butterfly as it evolves from a caterpillar into a delicate flying insect. Ideal for reading aloud or as a first reader, the detailed illustrations bring this familiar creature to life in a truly memorable way. Children who love butterflies will learn all about their life cycles and behavior, and the witty, interactive text will encourage them to explore the similarities and differences between themselves and these fascinating animals.
