This book is wonderful! I gave my grandson a butterfly kit for Christmas. I ordered this book to go along with it. This book is true Dr. Seuss. Entertain and Educational! We have read this book many times and I feel like I am a caterpillar expert.

Great item for my grandchildren. They love it! And I used it to teach my grandchildren to love reading.

This book is so cute. It matched with the pillow book I made for a baby shower.

It's a classic, love it. Easy to ready. Hard book. Worth it. It's a keeper!

Our family is a huge fan of the Cat in the Hat learning library. We own several of these books, including two others by Trish Rabe. Generally these books sparkle with vivid descriptions, interesting illustrations, and amazing facts. Generally speaking, this book does the same; however, with this one I just was not as impressed as I have been in the past. I was hoping for a lot more technical knowledge about butterflies for my curious children. Also, the prose just seems a bit clunkier than it has been with others in this series. Overall I would still give it four stars for the amount of information presented. It just seems as though the writer ran out of things to talk about. For a topic as captivating as metamorphosis, I found this surprising,Despite my apparent fussiness, this is still probably one of the better light-hearted reference books on the subject. You just may want to supplement with another, more dense book.Still love the cat in the hat learning library!
