Young readers can follow along and learn as the monarch grows, changes, and takes flight, in this simple introduction to a process studied by many school children. <p/>With clear, labeled diagrams and simple text that defines and reinforces important vocabulary, <i>Monarch Butterfly</i> introduces key concepts of insect anatomy and behavior.
