## Description

If at first you don't succeed, fly, fly again! This comical companion to Ross Burach's The Very Impatient Caterpillar pays loving homage to every child's struggle to persist through challenges while also delivering a lighthearted lesson on butterfly migration. "Will elicit plenty of giggles." -- Kirkus Reviews "Which way to the flowers?" "That way. 200 miles." "How am I supposed to travel that far?!" "You fly." "Can I take a plane?" "No." "Then I'll never make it!" Ross Burach’s encouraging story will make you laugh out loud while also providing scientific facts about butterflies.

Review: Great and fun! - Great and fun, I love reading it with my kid.
Review: We love this story! - It lends itself well to reading in "voices" for the different characters. I love it because it teaches the kids to not give up when the going gets tough.
