Lucy is playing in the garden one day and finds a butterfly. She spends all day playing with the butterfly. When she looks for the butterfly the next day, it is nowhere to be found. She spends the whole day searching for the and discovers all the other creatures living in the garden. At the end, when Lucy relaxes and just stares at the sky, she finds her beautiful butterfly.
With cut outs that emphasize the colors of the garden creatures and a huge pop-up of the colorful butterfly on the last page, this is one of those books that always seemed magical to me as a small child. The interaction between the young reader and the book creates a relationship that is only built upon as the child reads more and more. This is a wonderful beginning book and a great introduction to colors and all the life outdoors as well.
