What is Starting Life Butterfly about?

Follow a monarch butterfly through its remarkable transformation from tiny egg to crawling caterpillar, resting chrysalis and fully grown adult. Clear text and detailed illustrations show how each stage develops and how the butterfly lives among plants and other creatures in its habitat. As the butterfly grows, the pages grow too, creating an engaging way for young readers to explore its life cycle and discover the changes that take place before it spreads its wings and flies away.
