But there's something she needs to find out before she can get started. She knows butterflies have two antennae and four wings. But how many legs do they have? Luckily, Elinor is a pro at making observations. With her magnifying glass in hand, she goes to the garden in search of answers - and finds some new questions along the way!

Luckily, Elinor is a pro at making observations. With her magnifying glass in hand, she goes to the garden in search of answers — and finds some new questions along the way!
