Great book for children! Incredible photography!

I just shared this book with my 5-9 year old children, and they were mesmerized. We have been raising caterpillars (from Insectlore), and are now studying migration. The pictures are vivid and the narration is perfect for children. It is not a short read, but just long enough to impart a great deal of information and the story of the search for the monarch's overwintering sight in the Sierra Madre Mountains of Mexico. This is a great treasure, especially if you are raising caterpillars.
