24 pp. | Child's | August, 2017 | Library ISBN 978-1503820159 $18.95

(4) K-3 My Day Learning Science series. New vocabulary words in bold-colored type and bright photographs complement a slight easy-reader text about a caterpillar's development into a butterfly. A photograph of a caterpillar in its distinctive J shape before it enters the chrysalis stage is presented out of sequence with no explanation; otherwise this is a clear introduction for the very young. Discussion questions are appended. Reading list. Glos.
