EACH fall the western populations of Monarch butterflies migrate from northern feeding grounds, where milkweed grows, to over-wintering areas along the coast of central California. Each spring they fly north, completing a round trip of nearly 1,000 miles. This book tells the suprising life story of this beautiful migratory butterfly from a biological viewpoint. Detailed, 3-color drawings and uncomplicated text offer enjoyment for all ages.

"The migrations of the Monarch butterflies are unique in the world." --Jean Thurman, author
