A short, insightful read that goes into why monarch butterflies are becoming much more scarce. Interesting for students and inspiring in terms of providing information for them to take social/personal action.

Monarch butterflies are a perennial favorite of students, and they become interested in the environment and conservation by learning about its decline. This book is an excellent addition to teach students about the plight of the monarch butterfly. (Sadly but understandably, the best way to engender feelings for helping nature are through attractive and well-liked species that need help, such as butterflies and polar bears, rather than unloved and not-so-photogenic species). My students would enjoy this book.

A beautifully told and illustrated text about a fascinating topic.

We do a butterfly event at our library every year. This will be a great addition. Last year we started encouraging our patrons to plant more milkweed. I think this book will fit the needs of the library nicely.
