Nothing is more enchanting than a butterfly on a sunny day. Take your family on a butterfly hunt with a field guide in hand, or head to the Butterfly House or St. Louis Zoo Insectarium if it's raining out. Or, if you're feeling ambitious, plant a butterfly garden in your yard. Request the books below to help you out.
This beautiful book tells the story of a little girl who discovers a park with no butterflies. She enlists the help of her neighbors to bring back the butterflies, and eventually the whole neighborhood comes together in a celebration of flowers and butterflies.
Teach your young ones about the life cycle of a butterfly in this gorgeously photographed reader from National Geographic.
