PS
Ehlert's clever design is perfectly aligned with the stages of the butterfly life cycle: the book begins as a smaller book-within-a-book, starting with very small pages when the subject is eggs and caterpillars, reaching full size with the butterflies that feed on flower nectar and lay the next generation of eggs. Illustrations and text are packed with important scientific details in this marvelous presentation.
