- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A caterpillar boasts to all the pond creatures that when she grows up she will change into a beautiful butterfly. When the polliwog hears this he finds out that he will change as well – into a butterfly.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I enjoyed this book very much. One reason i liked it was because of its way of teaching about metamorphosis. Throughout the story you learn how a caterpillar turns into a butterfly and how a tadpole turns into a frog. For example, there is a page in the book that reads, "So when the time came, the caterpillar started to spin a cocoon. 'This is the tricky part.' she said." This shows how the book adds small information into the story. I also enjoyed this book for its message. The main idea of the book is that change is a god thing. This message is a great lesson for the reader while they are learning about metamorphosis. At the end of the book the frog can't stop looking at his reflection because he loves hos change so much.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The book has a caterpillar that is bragging about how she (alone!) will change into something else. When she comes across a polliwog (i.e. tadpole) who wants to change to. He mentions this to a passing fish who responds, that yes - he will change also. The caterpillar is bummed that she is not the only creature that will change. And the polliwog assumes that he will change into a butterfly since he is making a change also. A good story to talk about frogs and caterpillars in the spring and how they change. Program worthy I think though more for like a pre-k group rather than elementary school. I gave this a keyword of about me since both the caterpillar and the polliwog learn about themselves along the way.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Perfect language builds up the jokes and the excitement. I laughed out loud at 'Fish know things. They go to school.' And I got so involved in the story I had to go back a few pages to see the polliwog's (tadpole, according to my upbringing) metamorphosis.
The only thing I was disappointed in was that the frog and butterfly didn't interact more - but then again they wouldn't in real life, either!
