This fact-filled, colorful look at the amazing world of butterflies
includes a call to action to protect these beautiful insects. MELISSA
STEWART SHARES shares with young readers the basic facts about
butterflies, including how they transform from caterpillar to
butterfly, where they live, what they eat, and how they benefit
plants and animals. Sidebars throughout the book contain information
on human action that has harmed butterflies in the past and the many
ways people can protect certain butterfly populations, such as by
preserving forests and meadows and cutting down on pesticide use.
Also included are pointers on how youngsters can help butterflies in
their own neighborhood. Stewart reminds children of the
interconnectedness of our world and shows how the actions of one
species can inadvertently harm another. Bond's realistically detailed
watercolor illustrations highlight the diversity of the species, from
the Schaus swallowtail butterflies in southern Florida to the
endangered Mitchell's satyrs.
