"Do you teach those butterflies to fly?" I ask Becky - and that makes her giggle and go scampering off over the bridge and into the tall flowers. 'Becky the Butterfly Girl' is based on a real-life little girl whose parents love to garden the natural way. They use no chemicals, plant native varieties of shrubs and flowers, and strive to make their yard a safe and bountiful place for all living things - especially the birds, bees - and butterflies! Becky loves it all! She is an enthusiastic hostess for any groups or individuals who come to visit and learn about the life cycle of the Monarch butterflies. Becky shows us 'the works' - flitting from flowers to pond, calling out the names of flowers, laughing at the fish - and finally showing us all about the life cycle of the beautiful monarch butterflies. Becky tells us about all that her daddy is doing to raise monarchs and educate other people to help them as well. This little book is filled with Becky's enthusiasm and tells the amazing story of the monarch - from egg to caterpillar to butterfly! It is a life-cycle that lots of people know very little about - a true mystery of nature - yet we should all be aware of it and help to preserve the magic for future generations. Share this book with your children and get extras to share with other children, the library and maybe even the nearby nature center!
