Handle With Care: An Unusual Butterfly Journey

    Written by Loree Griffin Burns; illustrated by Ellen Harasimowicz

    Where do the butterflies in museums come from? From a butterfly farm, of course! This book is a fantastic look at how butterflies are raised from eggs and sent to museums. The pictures of the different stages of the butterfly life cycle are the best feature of this book. Most people only see the larval stage and adult stage. This book shows how small the eggs are and how the chrysalis is perfectly packaged. The clear and concise text is the perfect accompaniment to the images of beautiful butterflies.
