bought The Lamb and the Butterfly right away. The illustrations in collage are captivating as the lamb learns about the butterfly's migration. The words are wonderful too as the butterfly zigs and zags and ziggety zags. A child who loves this book would be ready for Malinda Martha meets Mariposa, about a girl who imagines herself directing the life-cycle of a Monarch on her backyard stage, with the common element being the wonder of migration since Mariposa flies from Boise to overwinter in California. It adds the possibility for children to act out the stages of the life-cycle, too. The Lamb and the Butterfly gets children off to a wonderful start.
