(4) K-3 Illustrated by Megan Halsey. Monarch butterfly development is explored by an elementary school class. The direct text explains metamorphosis as the students make observations and drawings, ask questions, and learn from one another. An appended author's note explains the process more fully. The pale watercolors are engaging but don't provide much detail.
