Illustrated by
Joan Paley.
Informative, engaging, and immediate-feeling, a third-person narrative follows Bella, a banded woolly bear caterpillar, as she grows, molts, avoids dangers, hibernates, weaves a cocoon, and emerges as an Isabella Tiger Moth. Paley's sunny cut-paper and mixed-media art sets the furry critter in colorful landscapes of wild flowers and crunchy leaves. More information and an anatomical diagram conclude the book. Glos.
