Featured Selection:
Gotta Go, by Sam Swope, is a marvelous book for introducing the concept of the monarch migration to very young children. The larva knows he must go to Mexico: he doesn't know why, he only knows he must go. Following the life cycle takes us through the journey to Mexico and back. When your children release their own butterflies they will undoubtedly chant, "Gotta Go Gotta Go Gotta Go to Mexico!" |
