Bird, Butterfly, Eel

by James Prosek
Simon and Schuster, 2009
“It’s summer on the farm, and Bird, Butterfly, and Eel are at home.” Butterfly lays her eggs in the meadow, Eel eats insects and small fish in the pond, and Bird feeds her babies in the barn. But come autumn, they go their separate ways, journeying to warm places far away. When spring returns to the farm, so do the migrating animals, and the cycle begins again. This lovely picture book tells the three migration stories with simple text and gorgeous double-page illustrations. Detailed endnotes provide additional information.
