Monarch Magic! Butterfly Activities & Nature Discoveries

I am an educator. Speaking professionally, this is a book both the child and parent cannot put down. The pictures are amazing and the projects are extremely well conceived and easily accomplished at home or in the classroom. The history and explanations provided are extremely comprehensive, yet very easy to understand. I highly recommend this book to students, parents, and teachers.

I work for our local school district in special education and have found this book an invaluable resource for the study of the Monarch. The photographs, illustrations and text appeal to all ages, children as well as adults. Our local library has a copy that is in use throughout the year.

I raise Monarchs in the summer and when school starts, I bring them to my class. We keep them in an enclosure that I built for part of the day and then release them. The book was an excellent addition to my Monarch library.

My Kindergarten son brought this book home from his school library and I groaned at the prospect of reading yet another 'chapter book' aloud to him. Instead, I was drawn into the beautiful photographs, the info and the great craft ideas. I am purchasing my own copy to keep in my classroom and am looking forward to sharing this beautiful book with my students.

Kids and adults will LOVE this book. It is selling like hotcakes in schools and bookstores across Connecticut. The hands-on crafts are wonderful! The colorful,vivid photographs are extraordinary as they summarize the life cycle of the monarch butterfly. Migration, milkweed preservation, butterfly gardening, varieties of nationwide milkweed and the protection of the monarch habitat are glorified in this exciting book! Best of all, kids can connect on the internet to learn more about monarchs. Check out these web sites!
