[Lauri Meyers · Rating 4 out of 5]

A simple look at some basic facts about butterflies, with a few pages focused on the monarch. (Harper Collins)

[Heather · Rating 3 out of 5]

A solid intro to butterflies (especially monarchs) with beautiful photographs. There isn't a ton of information so it's best suited for lower elementary. This was fun to read when we lived in CA because we were able to see the monarchs during migration.
