Interest Level: Ages 3 and under
Genre: Board Book
Subjects/Themes: Stories in Rhyme, Caterpillar, Butterfly, Colors, Counting
Plot: Follow five different colored caterpillars in a leaf bed as one by one they become beautiful butterflies. The caterpillar's fuzzy bodies are raised from the page that encourage textile exploration. Each butterfly has a holographic foil wings for an extra illustrated enjoyment.
Personal Thoughts: A simple board book. The repeating phrases are perfect for the intended age level. The caterpillar bodies and foil butterfly wings are a special touch. The rest of the illustrations are brightly drawn using simple lines and colors. Children are introduced to color names and the number five. Nothing special about the book but nothing terrible either. I like that its a board book in a bigger format which provides easier handling.
