Butterfly House

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

WHEN THE LITTLE GIRL saves a tiny caterpillar from a hungry jay, her grandfather helps her make a butterfly house to keep it safe.<P>They decorate it with colorful flowers and leaves, and the girl watches over the larva as it transforms from caterpillar, to chrysalis, to butterfly. All too soon, it is time to set it free. But even as the years pass, and the young girl grows old, something amazing happens each spring. Butterflies come to her garden — filling the air like autumn leaves! Could they be coming back to return the kindness that the little girl had shown so long ago?<P>Eve Bunting's lyrical language and Greg Shed's sun-kissed paintings make for a brilliant celebration of nature, spring, and the cycle of life.
