Home Is Calling: The Journey of the Monarch Butterfly by Katherine Pryor Art by Ellie Peterson

 Home Is Calling

Have you seen a Monarch butterfly flying along quickly--like it has somewhere to go? Home Is Calling: The Journey of the Monarch Butterfly by Katherine Pryor beautifully tells the story of the Monarch Butterfly.

Home Is Calling is a beautifully illustrated book that measures about 10 inches almost square and is 40 pages long. It is aimed at children ages 4 to 7. Prayer does a beautiful job of telling the story of the travels that the butterflies make each year. Peterson does a great job of illustrating this book. It is clear that these gifted authors worked hand-in-hand to make this book that is truly well-done. This is a great book for teaching children about the Monarch Butterfly. I also like that there is real-life scientific information at the back of the book so children can learn the anatomy of a butterfly, their life cycle, learn about the importance of milkweed and threats to Monarch Butterflies. There are also ideas and good information for those who want to get involved in helping this beautiful pollinator. One two-page spread also shows the Monarch migration pattern with some more brief information on how it works. Home Is Calling would be great for any child who wants to learn more about butterflies. It would also be useful in home-schooling or in school classrooms. I highly recommend it.




I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions within this review are my own.
