PS
A polliwog observes a caterpillar for days to learn how to turn into a butterfly. What the polliwog doesn't notice--and the brightly colored illustrations clearly show--is that he is changing, too. The illustrations will engage a younger audience, but the board book's small size struggles to accommodate the long text.
