Book Description
Two young
butterflies leave the comfort of their shady forest for the first time in Nancy
Lorraine’s The Butterfly Adventure.
Exploring a brilliant wildflower garden in full bloom, the butterfly friends
encounter exotic new insects and flowers--but most of all--the butterflies
discover the value of friendship. Beautifully illustrated with original
watercolors, each chapter of The
Butterfly Adventure makes lovely bedtime reading for both parent and child.
