A Place for Butterflies (Place For...)

Description
The latest updated edition of this fact-filled, colorful look at the amazing world of butterflies, which includes two brand new illustrations and a call to action to protect these creatures and their habitats.

In simple yet informative language, A Place for Butterflies introduces young readers to the basic facts about butterflies, including how they transform from caterpillars to butterflies, where they live, what they eat, and how they benefit plants and animals. Sidebars throughout the book contain information about how human action has harmed butterflies in the past, and the many ways people can protect certain butterfly populations, like by preserving forests and meadows and cutting down on pesticide use. Also included are pointers on how readers can help butterflies in their own neighborhood.
