The King's Butterfly invites children to enjoy and respect the beautiful Monarch Butterfly. When the King and Queen capture the butterfly to keep it for a royal pet, they soon find out that a butterfly is meant to fly free. Will they set the butterfly free that it might return again the next year? Perhaps Wizdrop the Wizard has the answer. Beautifully illustrated by watercolorist Victoria Wickell-Stewart. This is the sixth children's book written by Gene G. Bradbury and illustrated by Victoria Wickell-Stewart. The others include: The Mouse With Wheels in His Head; The Mouse Who Wanted to Fly; Mischievous Max, a Teddy Bear Story; Fergus of Lighthouse Island; The Star Tree; and now, The King's Butterfly.
