Review: Well...who knew...not me! - The little parsley caterpillar my three year old granddaughter found in the garden this summer was very special to her. She talked to him for the longest time. Then we brought him in on a rosemary branch and she checked him every morning. I knew next to nothing about this new border so, I needed more information to answer all her questions. We ordered "From Caterpillar to Butterfly". What great little book. Not only did we learn everything we needed to know we learned that come spring we can raise butterflies. Our chrysalis is now at the preschool with other chrysalises waiting for spring to morph to a swallow tailed butterfly. Great book for both of us. I would highly recommend this book.
Review: My little friend loved this - I bought this for a 6-year old friend of mine (I am 10X older than that) who shares my interest in butterflies. She absolutely loved it and said, "Wow! There's a lot of information in this book!" I was pleased with the pictures and especially the fact that all nationalities of children were pictured in the story. So the book is suitable for all children. The book showed them working together on their caterpillar project. I liked that very much myself.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful Book
*by T***H on June 14, 2021*

My Kindergarten team used a different book to teach the life cycle of a butterfly this year. 4 H brought over caterpillars along with this book. My team loved this book so much that we all decided to purchase this book to teach our butterfly life cycle. Our students really enjoyed the book and the colorful pictures.
