It’s spring in 1904 Texas and Calpurnia Tate is busy keeping her little brother Travis out of trouble (he wants to keep every animal he catches). But on an afternoon walk with her grandfather, she discovers what are probably butterfly eggs on a leaf, and collects them to study. When one of the butterflies has an injured wing, Calpurnia and her grandfather figure out what to do.
The 2nd in a new series (Calpurnia Tate, Girl Vet) this heartwarming easy reader is a sweet story. A little bit of action when a ewe has trouble delivering a lamb, but so well handled and not gross at all. A spin off of the older book (The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate) no prior understanding of that book or of Skunked is required to enjoy this fun historical read.
