(4) K-3 Illustrated by Henry Cole. Clara is a plain cabbage caterpillar who will become a cream-colored butterfly, and the flashily hued Catisha mocks her for it, until Clara rescues Catisha from the beak of a hungry crow by using her plainness as camouflage. The slight tale--sometimes overwhelmed by conspicuous alliteration--is enlivened by Cole's accomplished blend of realism and cartoon charm.
