It Is Time:
The Life of a Caterpillar
By Lizzy Rockwell
Discover the amazing changes going on right in the backyard. A little boy notices a caterpillar egg on the parsley. He keeps an eye out to see the egg hatch into a caterpillar with may disguises, then change into a jewel like pupa, and emerge as a beautiful winged butterfly. With scientifically accurate illustrations showing the metamorphosis of a Black Swallowtail Butterfly from egg to adult, this book is sure to captivate young readers.
Part of the award-winning I Like to Read series from Holiday House, this book is a guided level G, perfect for early first graders to proudly read for themselves. It also makes a great read aloud for story time.
