The Dead Butterflies Diary Rita Ter Sarkissoff

A kid gardening detective story! Betsy finds the bodies--of the dead butterflies. Heartbroken, she grabs her magnifying glass and camera and launches an investigation to figure out who or what killed her favorite insect. Classmates taunt her when she vows to plant a garden to bring back the butterflies. Betsy writes and draws every day in her diary as she works to solve the mystery. She does. The Dead Butterflies Diary is an 8" x 10" 32-page picture book especially for 5-10 year olds. Perfect for home reading or the classroom. A great companion for those schools with gardens. Book includes a Glossary, Favorite Butterfly Flowers, and Betsy's Tips for Planting Your Butterfly Garden. Lots of additional gardening information at www.sandybakerwriter.com.
