Velma Gratch and the Way Cool Butterfly by Alan Madison illustrated by Kevin Hawkes

Velma is the youngest of three sisters.  Teachers at her school remember her sisters for specific accomplishments.  Velma strives to be known for something.  This "something" comes in the form of science and their study of butterflies.
I liked the descriptive language and attention to detail (even the end pages are creative!  Check out Velma's hair position at the front end pages compared to the back end pages).
Skill: word choice
