Gardening guinea pigs Nibbles and Posie find six caterpillars eating their dandelion crop. They keep them as pets--then they disappear from the jar. With some help, the pair solves the mystery (they're now butterflies). Kids already familiar with the phenomenon of metamorphosis may not sit for a second reading of this story, but the mixed-media illustrations are warm and expressive.
