A Monarch Adventure: Winner of a Purple Dragonfly Book Award and National Indie Excellence Award Finalist - Paperback

by Beth Lawnicki (Author), Mary Katanik (Illustrator), Mia Lawnicki (Illustrator)

Inspired by the beauty and fragility of the butterfly, A Monarch Adventure tells the story of a little girl and her quest to protect monarchs and their habitat.

Lia learns about the life cycle of a monarch, its amazing transformation from egg to caterpillar, chrysalis, and fully-grown butterfly. The life cycle comes to life through a flip-book feature that runs the length of the book.

Full-color photography portrays caterpillars, butterflies, their habitat, and the breathtaking transformation shown through time lapse images of chrysalis formation and emergence.

Fun facts and conservation ideas are included in the end material. How fast do monarch caterpillars grow? What does it look like when a monarch forms a chrysalis? How does the butterfly emerge? What is a nature journal and why should you create one?
