The Yellow Butterfly — Mary Lu Warstler

Chrys and Merlin, her Siamese cat, go for their daily walk in the forest at the edge of her yard. She stumbles and falls, breaking her much loved coffee mug with an animated yellow butterfly. The butterfly disappears. She and Merlin find themselves on an adventure in a fantasyland of rainbows, enchanted animals, and a yellow butterfly that leads them to the final battle with the Wicked Wizard. Later her husband, George comes to meet them at the creek. He is thrust into a dark, misty forest where the Newland prophecy says he must fight Trocks, Slime Giants, Dragon Dogs, and a Wicked Wizard before he can be reunited with Chrys.
