Learn about the whole life cycle of the monarch butterfly in this toddler friendly board book edition of the bestselling picture book by Gail Gibbons!

Monarch butterflies start as tiny eggs on milkweed plants, but through metamorphosis transform into the cute yellow-striped caterpillar and eventually the iconic orange butterfly. They migrate across the continent in huge orange clouds every year.
 
With simple text and bright illustrations, toddlers can learn everything about monarchs, their lifecycle, what they eat, and how far they can fly. Clearly labeled diagrams introduce young readers to science vocabulary. Perfect for the little toddler who loves finding insects in the park.
