(3) K-3 Illustrated by Greg Shed. After a girl rescues a larva from a hungry jay, she and her grandfather make a home for it and watch it change into a Painted Lady butterfly. The poetic text is accompanied by handsome paintings that convey the girl's feelings about keeping and eventually releasing the butterfly. Bunting includes detailed instructions for making a butterfly house.
