This heart-warming story and remarkable photography detail the complete stages of metamorphosis, a scientific wonder studied by readers of all ages. It is a delightful work following the journey of one of nature¿s most mysterious miracles as a tiny (egg), dropped on a milkweed leaf, follows its four-stage course of development from a centimeter-sized caterpillar, (larva), changing to chrysalis, (pupa) then into a Monarch butterfly (adult). Each stage is documented with the author¿s photographs demonstrating the unbelievable changes in size, shape, color, form and appendages.
