Hedgehugs and the Hattiepillar

(4) PS Illustrated by Lucy Tapper. Hedgehogs Horace and Hattie (Hedgehugs) observe a caterpillar becoming a butterfly and wonder: "If they ate a lot and slept in a soft, silky bed, would they turn into something colorful and wonderful too?" (They do--sort of.) This slight story includes a nonscientific introduction to metamorphosis (caterpillar, chrysalis, and butterfly are never mentioned); colorful, vibrantly textured digital illustrations are eye-catching if a bit saccharine.
