Little Reads: Monarch Butterfly

My brother is the kind of guy who will cancel a vacation if he finds abandoned kittens under his porch, drive birds and bunnies to the nearest wildlife rescue shelter (even if it’s not near at all) and take in injured Monarch butterflies and feed them only organic watermelon until they are ready to launch. Which brings us to Earl.

Earl was a Monarch who didn’t make it to Mexico one winter. Earl got stuck. In Boston. But luckily he got stuck to the sidewalk outside my brother’s house where he was treated like one of the family. Whenever I think about Earl and all of his fellow travelers I’m awestruck by the wonder of migration and how amazing these little creatures are.

This book is for anyone who wants to know a butterfly a little better. It describes their life through each stage of metamorphosis including physical characteristics, behavior, diet and their amazing migratory instincts. It also brings to light the celebrations that people hold along the migration route.
