MONARCH BUTTERFLY

This life cycle of the monarch butterfly, simple yet complete, starts with a female's journey northward in spring, then takes up the growth of one of the eggs she lays. All the stages- as caterpillar, cocoon, and mating and migrating adult- are mentioned with reference to various happenings within them. An adequate study for early grades, who will need more detail later. Accurate two-tones by Barbara Latham.
