About This Book

Lois Ehlert's bold, colorful collage illustrations trace the life cycle of butterflies, from tiny eggs hidden on leaves to caterpillars munching and growing, and finally to the glorious emergence of winged adults visiting a garden of flowers. Rhyming text and vibrant cut-paper art make the science accessible and visually stunning.

Why We Love This

The bold colors practically leap off the page, and it's inspired our kids to plant butterfly gardens of their own - Lois Ehlert at her very best.
