(2) K-3 Illustrated by Meilo So. On her way from Canada to Mexico, a monarch stops in Wichita Falls, Texas, meeting Hurry the tortoise in his garden. They meet again in the spring, when she returns to lay her eggs and die. The watercolor palette explodes with color. This fictionalized account allows young children a glimpse into the monarch's amazing saga. An afterword provides discussion of the monarch's migration.
