Quiet as a Butterfly: I Wonder Why

My mother read this story to me when I was a little girl and it remains one of my favorites. As an early childhood educator, I use it to teach my students about the five senses. It is wonderfully interactive as the children "help" me read by making the sounds that the boy hears during the day. It also works well as a book to read to children before they go to bed as it conludes....quietly. It's a bit dated in it's illustrations and such, but the children love it which is proof that a good children's book is always timeless.
