Monarch butterflies are very common in our area. Milkweed grows rampart as a weed in our area and since this is the favorite food of Monarchs, we are surrounded by them in the summertime.When we took a trip to Branson, MO., we visited the Butterfly Palace. There you could view an outstanding film of Monarch butterfly migration and it was totally amazing.When I saw this book, I wanted to purchase it because of these connections of mine with Monarch butterflies. The pictures the author personally took are wonderful. It's truly miraculous to see the life of a Monarch from egg to the final majestic butterfly.The only reason I give this book 4 stars is because I wish there had been more info on the migration patterns. The migration is the Monarch is fascinating to scientists because the trip lasts longer than the lifespan of the butterfly. Scientists are constantly studying how this migration pattern is passed on from generation to generation.On the whole, this book is well worth the price in just the pictures alone. If you want to learn more about Monarch butterflies you'll love this book.
