Engaging story

This is my first Magic Castle Reader, but I've read that they are superb. In this story, a little girl opens a book and reads about another little girl who finds a caterpillar and takes it home. Her father helps her give it a nice home so she can watch as it disappears inside its covering. She waits and is amazed as it comes out a butterfly. Since she lives in a cold climate she also finds a nice warm home for the butterfly to fly around in by calling in a favor from her Dad's friend. The book says it's in the science category so this is obviously a book on biology for young readers. The title is actually the words that the little girl puts on the box the butterfly travels in to get to its nice warm home at the end. The story is so simple a sweet. If the rest of the books are like this one, I'll be another Mom singing the praises of this series.
