From Booklist
Ages 4-7. Armed with three caterpillars and a flowerpot of milkweed, Miss Dana engages her class in a project: watching caterpillars become monarch butterflies. A personable student describes what happens--from feeding the caterpillars and the building of the chrysalis to the butterflies' hatching and release. The project continues as the students correspond with students in Mexico, where most monarch butterflies traditionally migrate. Metamorphosis information is presented in an age-appropriate way. Children will easily relate to the narrator's lively descriptions and youthful perspective ("ick!"), as well as to the impatience and their wonder as the beautiful butterflies finally appear. Cheerful watercolor and collage art, figurative though simplistic, nicely captures both the process and kids' reactions. An endnote briefly discusses monarchs, and there's a Web site address where more information can be found. The endpapers are labeled drawings of other types of butterflies and their corresponding caterpillars. An accessible introduction to an intriguing classroom or home project. Shelle Rosenfeld
