Can't believe I read this book in one sitting, but I couldn't put it down. Oh, wait. It's only 31 pages long and is for grades 4-8.

The illustrations are great, especially if you have any knowledge of Australian wildlife, as I do. However, I wasn't able to find any plant or animal on the Web with the name "Aldita." So I wondered why that name was chosen. And I wondered why the rest of the butterflies of this species weren't in the forest any more.

Does the author plan a sequel to reveal the fate of the other butterflies? :-)
