In A New Butterfly, Connie watches through the spring and summer as an eastern tiger swallowtail butterfly goes through its life cycle. Children will enjoy the cumulative, sing-song verse patterned after "The House that Jack Built," and then peering under the flaps that reveal a caterpillar's metamorphosis.

This clever format provides two levels of text: one a simple story for quite young readers, and another, under the flap, a more involved scientific lesson.
