See Additional Details
IT'S HARD TO BE VELMA entering first grade. That's because everyone has marvelous memories of her two older sisters, who were practically perfect first graders, and no one even notices Velma. But all that changes on a class trip to the butterfly conservatory, a place neither of her sisters has been. When a monarch roosts on Velma's finger and won't budge for days - no one will ever forget it . . . or her!

Kids will enjoy reading about everything butterflies, from migration to metamorphosis, as they follow Velma's own transformation.

This book is just a little bit too wordy for me to really enjoy reading it frequently, but it does have a lot going  for it.  There should be a big appeal to the youngest child in a multi-child family and girl who love science; Velma Gratch will be a good role model.
