5.0 out of 5 stars Another Fine Book by Jack Kent - a review of "The Caterpillar and the Polliwog", March 4, 2006
This review is from: The Caterpillar and the Polliwog (Paperback)
We love "The Caterpillar and the Polliwog". It's just a wonderful (classic) tale that appeals to children and adults alike. We read it as part of our science unit on critters that start as one thing and become another. The book does a great job of bringing home the fact of metamorphosis. I think it even does a better than the science books because of the story.

It was also the first play that we ever managed to pull off. Kids just seem to have a knack for remembering the lines of the bragging-sassy caterpillar and the silly polliwog; and it is easy to pretend to form a cocoon with a blanket.

Five Stars. I love books that do double duty; and with the "Polliwog and the Caterpillar" get you get a great story and a science lesson.

4.0 out of 5 stars I'm OK--You're OK: For Children, September 13, 2000
By 
Paul Martin (Waukesha, WI USA) - See all my reviews
A neat story that 3-7 year-olds will surely enjoy. The story is about a proud female caterpillar who boasts to all of her friends that when she grows up, she will turn into something else. She meets a polliwog and relates this story to him, he is facinated. Later, the polliwog learns that he too will change into something else, although he belives he'll change into a butterfly. In the end, the story ends happily when the polliwog learns to love himself for who he is.

First-rate illustrations, entertaining and unique story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny for Kids and Adults Alike, December 11, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Caterpillar and the Polliwog (Paperback)
This is a really great story to read to your kids and to have your kids learn to read. It's not too short and not too long. It has both a moral lesson and a humor factor. Just as funny to adult readers as it is to the kids.
