Monarch Come Play with Me was written and designed for children between
the ages of 3 and 9. The text, written for early second grade readers,
revolves around the similarities and differences between the
development of monarchs and the development of children. An
informational text at the end of the book introduces readers to the
process of scientific discovery through the story of Dr. Fred and Norah
Urquhart's search - with the help of many citizen scientists - for the
eastern monarchs' overwintering home. This text, written at a fourth
grade reading level, is intended expose readers to how science is used
to answer questions.
Ba Rea's illustrations feature detailed
images of monarch eggs, caterpillars, chrysalides and butterflies that
will allow curious readers to discover for themselves fascinating
details of the lives of monarchs beyond those directly addressed in the
text.
