(4) K-3 Adapted by Genie MacLeod. Created by Jorge Cham and Daniel Whiteson. Elinor’s friend Ari wants to spend the day butterfly-watching, while her friend Olive would rather look for caterpillars. The friends decide to look for butterfly babies instead. Why can’t they find any? Using their observation skills, they discover that Ari and Olive actually like the same insect. This book is an effective, if bland, introduction to the concepts of metamorphosis and using science to answer questions; the cartoon art and story are based on an episode of a TV series.
