About this ebook
Some farms grow vegetables or grains, and some raise cows, sheep, chickens, or pigs. But have you ever heard of a butterfly farm? How do you raise a butterfly?
On a farm in Costa Rica, workers care for these delicate, winged creatures as they change from eggs to caterpillars to pupae. Like any other crop, the butterflies will eventually leave the farm. But where will they go? And just how do you ship a butterfly?
Very carefully! To discover how it works, follow these butterflies on a remarkable journey!

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5"...Have you ever heard of a butterfly farm? How do you raise a butterfly?"This book, aimed at children in middle grades, answers those questions.With beautiful, up-close photography Handle With Care shows the journey of a caterpillar to a butterfly from El Bosque Nuevo Farm in Costa Rica to The Museum of Science in Boston, Massachusetts. This unique farm shows the process of raising butterflies and has stunning pictures of their life cycle before they are shipped around the world for other people to enjoy. The three pictures near the end of a butterfly emerging from a chrysalis make it seem like you are watching it happen in person. The end of the book contains a lot of good information for lesson planning or more curious learners with vocabulary words and more information on life cycles. This book was received for free in return for an honest review.
