Ten Little Caterpillars
Illustrations and rhyming text follow ten caterpillars as one wriggles up a flower stem, another sails across a garden pool, and one reaches an apple leaf, where something amazing happens.
From Caterpillar to Butterfly
Children in the classroom watch a caterpillar grow, disappear inside a shell it makes, and come out of the shell a beautiful butterfly.
The Butterfly Dance
Caterpillars Dotty and Stripe do everything together. They play, they eat leaves and do all sorts of caterpillar things, and then one day, after spinning themselves into snuggly cocoons, they wake up as beautiful butterflies! But soon they realize that, for the first time ever, they look different. Should Dotty only play with butterflies that look like her? And Stripe only play with butterflies that look like him? A story about friendship and and being happy with who you are.
