Magnificent Monarchs by Linda Glaser illustrated by Gay Holland

Look what I found here in these weeds. A shiny white egg stuck on a leaf. A tiny monarch caterpillar pushes her way out, my soft and wiggly friend. She eats and eats the milkweed leaves. She grows and grows until...

she grows right out of her small tight skin. She now has a bigger, looser one. She eats more and more milkweed and then... she grows right out of her skin again... and again...

and AGAIN.

Now she finds a safe place in the shade and hangs upside down like a "J."

She sheds her skin once more. And look! A chrysalis has formed. My little friend is safe inside. She stays in there for days and days, while her whole body changes in wonderful ways.

When she comes out she's not fat or wiggly. She's become a monarch butterfly with magnificent wings. Now she's ready for an amazing journey.

It's autumn. She must not get cold. She quickly heads south for a warm winter home.

She flies day after day and sips nectar from flowering weeds on the way.

She meets other monarchs all heading south. They gather like tan and orange leaves, resting a while on ''butterfly trees."

On and on my little friend goes, flying thousands of miles to Mexico. What an amazing flight for a little one so thin and light!

Millions of monarchs gather here, where all their great-grandparents came last year. They all rest, close together, staying warm until spring. Then my little friend starts back north again.

Here she finds young milkweed plants. She lays her eggs. At last!
