PSShare-a-Story series.
Illustrated by
Alison Bartlett.
A caterpillar, who wishes that he was a lion, goes around growling at other animals until he actually scares a little fish and realizes that he would rather be a small bug than a ferocious predator. The vivid illustrations use a variety of painted textures to highlight the story. Suggestions for ways to share the story with young children are also included.
