The Nettle and the Butterfly

How important are the nettles in your garden? They are food for the caterpillars. Nettles enable caterpillars to grow strong so that they can form the chrysalis needed for their miraculous transformation into butterflies. The Nettle and the Butterfly accurately and charmingly shows the main stages of development of a Peacock butterfly through rhyming verse, written by Daniel Bryan, and vivid illustrations by Angela Bryan. Printed in color throughout on 100% recycled card using vegetable-based inks. Paperback. (Ages 4-7)
