Mandy and the Magic Butterfly by Ann Rachlin
Designed for younger children, Mandy's search for the Magic Butterfly leads her on an adventure through the insect world. Accompanied by the friendly Bee, Mandy meets Prokofiev's dragonflies and grasshoppers, Vivaldi's bluebottles, Rimsky-Korsakov's Bee, wasps and ladybugs and many more. This gentle story shows us how the insects view us humans. The Magic Butterfly teaches that even the most humble insect is a living creature and we should not interfere with its life. Listening to Ann Rachlin tell the story, children should learn to love the music but also to respect Nature and her creatures.
