A Monarch Universe is a picture book for all ages about a bright monarch butterfly dreaming of the Monarch life cycle and butterfly patterns in the universe. The full-color CD/eBook contains beautiful artwork created by award-winning Marquette Artist Todd Carter and lyrical text by Todd's wife, Michaeleen O'Sullivan.  The CD/eBook is whimsically read by Marquette librarian Betsie Bush. 

The Ebook on CD contains two versions of this multimedia presentation,
both in Adobe PDF format (requiring Adobe Acrobat Reader):
1. Audio reading synchronized with the artwork in an automatic slide-show format.
2. Printed text (no audio) displayed side by side the artwork and controlled manually to read at your own pace. Related Internet resources are included at the end of this version.
