Brunet bring the monarch butterflies to life on each page. Blankets
of orange and black decorating the trees in the forests of Mexico
are beautifully drawn. A map marking the journey from as far away
as Canada to Mexico gives the reader a frame of reference for the
amazing journey. Fast facts, a glossary, critical thinking
questions, and additional resources are available at the conclusion
of the text, providing extensions.-- "NSTA Recommends"
With beautiful illustrations and simple text, this series about
migration for the purpose of reproduction will make a nice
classroom discussion-starter. . . .The format will appeal to all

enjoyed by many children.-- "School Library Connection"
