My 5 year old daughter LOVES this book. It is a wonderful story about a young boy and his journey across country. The book also explained to my daughter the important lesson of letting go.
I would highly recommend this book. Not only is the story amazing it is also beautifully illustrated.
We look forward the the next adventure.

A beautiful story that teaches children about the values of friendship, compassion, and letting go.
My children (ages 5 and 8) loved this story and asked for several "re-reads!"

This book is a must have for any child's book collection. All 4 of my children LOVED this book. The oldest one, 7, was amazed that the caterpiller traveled in a salad. The 5 year old loved the BEAUTIFUL butterfly and my 2 year old twins loved the story. They we enthralled by the glittery caterpillar on the cover. This book is a definate MUST have!!

My three year old daughter absolutely LOVES this book- she asks to read it over and over. She really relates to story of the boy and his special catepillar friend. We received this wonderful book as a gift, and I will definitely give it to others. Your kids will love Cali!

The Adventures of Cali is a bittersweet children's picturebook about a young girl caterpillar and the city boy who befriends her. "He fed her tomatoes and let her wiggle through his fingers. When she was especially playful, Cali would climb up his arm and tickle his ear." The boy brings Cali back to the city with him, but the little caterpillar misses her old home and doesn't eat as heartily as she used to. At last she builds herself a cozy cocoon, and transforms into a beautiful butterfly, saying goodbye to her friend before she flies out the window and away toward home. The charming color illustrations engage the senses in this gentle picturebook, and the dust jacket offers helpful tips to young readers for taking care of a caterpillar if they happen to befriend one.

Both my 2 year old and 5 year old loved this book, my two year was at first delighted by the sparkly "Cali" on the cover and was thrilled to hear her story as I read. My five year old loved reading about "Cali's" journey and how she traveled with her new friend.

This book is excellent. I would definitely recommend it for young children. It is very well written and beautifully illustrated. The story is enlightening and the pictures are brillant. My kids are looking very forward to the next Adventures of Cali.

A must in every child's book collection. Beautiful true story. Great pictures and well written. I highly recommend it. My five year old son loves to read it every night, can't wait for the next one.
