Illustrated by
Lois Ehlert.
This counting book showcases ten members of the Lepidoptera order, mostly in lush settings that incorporate and label the flora and fauna of their habitats. The tenth caterpillar (a tiger swallow tail) becomes a chrysalis before maturing into a beautiful butterfly. Martin's gentle rhyme provides quiet background for Ehlert's vibrant illustrations. Back matter lists each species of caterpillar shown.
