Illustrated by
Paul Kratter.
In a contrived plot, Amy and her mother participate in the annual Fourth of July Butterfly Count. Their personal goal is to find a butterfly called the regal fritillary--a favorite of Amy's great-great-grandmother. Accurate illustrations depict the flora and fauna of the plains with exceptional detail paid to the wildflowers and butterflies. The strongest aspect of the book is the illustrated glossary.
