About this book

Among the flowers of Pleasant Valley, Betsy Butterfly has a reputation for beautiful wings and a cheerful manner. She flies only in sunshine and greets even her jealous neighbors politely. Her trust in others becomes a problem when Johnnie Green decides to collect butterflies and appears in the garden with a homemade net. Arthur Scott Bailey gives this children's story a small community of birds, insects and other animals, each with a distinct temperament.

Their conversations mix everyday quarrels with details of meadow life. Mrs. Ladybug's suspicions cause trouble, while a misunderstanding about the butter-and-eggs plant becomes a comic argument over food and flowers. Nectar, wing colors and changing weather sit alongside gossip and friendship. Short chapters and lively dialogue make the book suitable for readers who enjoy animal characters, with Betsy's kindness tested by her neighbors' mistaken ideas.
