A tiny white egg blossoms into a brilliantly-colored butterfly that will cross over four thousand miles annually! Millions of monarchs migrate from the United States and Canada to California and Mexico for the winter. This book serves as an excellent introduction to a process that will be studied by many elementary school children. With clear, labeled diagrams and a simple text that defines and reinforces important vocabulary, Monarch Butterfly introduces key concepts of insect anatomy and behavior.
