Chris Haughton meets Jean Jullien in this exploration of cause and effect.


Using a sequence of escalating events a mother warns a young girl what could occur if she touches a butterfly (hence introducing the chaos theory of the butterfly effect in an age-appropriate STEM-friendly way).


This picture book will delight the very young who enjoy suspense and allow children to explore the question they love to ask "and then what happens?" with increasingly dramatic effect. 

"Wacky physics, appealing critters, and crisp, retro illustrations combine for a solid outing".
Kirkus Reviews
A magnificently illustrated cautionary tale for young children from clever French author/illustrator Philippe Jalbert... Readers will delight in the possibilities of this story as each part unfolds before their eyes in superbly, graphic illustrations of each escalating calamity. The drama of each mishap is enhanced by the close-up illustrations of on each page."
