Butterfly lovers, unite! Butterfly species are disappearing in the U.S., and award-winning nonfiction science writer Melissa Stewart shares why and how we can help. A teacher and classroom favorite from the celebrated A Place for... series! Once abundant monarch butterflies are disappearing in the U.S....but that's only part of the story. Many other butterfly species are also in trouble, and human action is often the cause of their plight. What can we do to help protect this important insect? In clear and compelling language, Melissa Stewart showcases twelve North American butterflies--from the familiar eastern tiger swallowtail to the rare Palos Verdes blue butterfly--and the ecosystems that support their survival. The simple narrative states the dangers that each of these butterfly populations face, and informative sidebars describe the efforts of people to save them.
