Facts about butterflies and the difference between a chrysalis vs. cocoon.  And as we know Fred is curious about everything you will find out who Christina Rossetti is as well as Marvin Stone’s invention of the paper straw  – 1888. You will dabble in music by looking at sheet music for “But Not Alone” and “The Crash of the Bell Tower“.

To add to the sense of wonder about our universe, while you are reading Life of Fred, Butterflies you will also consider light years, nebula’s, Orion’s Belt and Betelgeuse. And these are just some of the topics you and your children will be delighted to learn about.
