Description: While watching a caterpillar brought to school in a glass jar slowly change into a beautiful butterfly, the class and the reader learn the basics about the mystery of metamorphosis.
Brief description:
At age five, Deborah Heiligman checked out her first library book--What Is a Butterfly?--and her love of science and nature has grown ever since. She has written one other Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science book, On the Move, illustrated by Lizzy Rockwell. She is also the author of the middle grade biography Charles and Emma, which was a National Book Award finalist and a Michael L. Printz Honor Book. Ms. Heiligman lives in New York City with her husband and two sons.
Review Quotes:
"Although the drama of metamorphosis has been documented with greater detail in other titles, this presentation stands out because of its classroom setting. An inviting book that young children can relate to and one that teachers will find valuable to support nature-study projects." - School Library Journal
