Kids and adults will LOVE this book. It is selling like hotcakes in schools and bookstores across Connecticut. The hands-on crafts are wonderful! The colorful,vivid photographs are extraordinary as they summarize the life cycle of the monarch butterfly. Migration, milkweed preservation, butterfly gardening, varieties of nationwide milkweed and the protection of the monarch habitat are glorified in this exciting book! Best of all, kids can connect on the internet to learn more about monarchs. Check out these web sites!

My Kindergarten son brought this book home from his school library and I groaned at the prospect of reading yet another 'chapter book' aloud to him. Instead, I was drawn into the beautiful photographs, the info and the great craft ideas. I am purchasing my own copy to keep in my classroom and am looking forward to sharing this beautiful book with my students.

I raise Monarchs in the summer and when school starts, I bring them to my class. We keep them in an enclosure that I built for part of the day and then release them. The book was an excellent addition to my Monarch library.

I am an educator. Speaking professionally, this is a book both the child and parent cannot put down. The pictures are amazing and the projects are extremely well conceived and easily accomplished at home or in the classroom. The history and explanations provided are extremely comprehensive, yet very easy to understand. I highly recommend this book to students, parents, and teachers.

Monarch Magic has served my early childhood classroom well! We have found the pictures to be very captivating for the young learners, the crafts are great and easily adaptable for young children. I highly recommend this book to educators, the students instantly became interested in nature and excited to find and learn more about monarchs.

I work for our local school district in special education and have found this book an invaluable resource for the study of the Monarch. The photographs, illustrations and text appeal to all ages, children as well as adults. Our local library has a copy that is in use throughout the year.

I have been photographing a Monarch metamorphosis and looking at many books - this one is by far THE BEST!

My family and I started a Monarch Farm this summer and this book is so full of fantastic information, we will do even better next year! This book is educational and fun to read, full of fun projects, and I highly recommend it to everyone, no matter what your age!

MONARCH MAGIC is a "gift" to the science world, children, and butterfly enthusiasts of all ages. It has graced book stores and school curriculums for 10 years, winning top awards in its field of study. Teachers - it is a must for the classroom! Parents - it is a must for any child who loves butterflies!! The Raise & Release section gives step-by-step instructions for children to safely raise monarchs. The emerging butterfly is a sight one NEVER forgets and it is beautifully photographed in this amazing book!

Anyone who opens its covers...children, teachers, parents... agrees that award winning MONARCH MAGIC is one of the best resources for Monarch Butterfly enthusiasts. The full color photographs are outstanding. The text was originally reviewed by the honored Dr. Lincoln Brower, the country's most well-known authority on monarch butterflies and habitat preservation. I highly recommend MONARCH MAGIC for classrooms everywhere! My students LOVE it!
