This is such a cool book! When you open the first page the caterpillar (which looks like a slinky with green cloth covering it) comes out and as you turn the pages he stays a caterpillar until the very last page when you turn the page the caterpillar disappears and out pops a beautiful butterfly!

This is a wonderful book! I bought this book for my 1 1/2 year old daughter and when I opened it, I mean actually sitting down and paying attention, I was in love with this book as well as my daughter! The illustrations are wonderful and the colors are dreamy!. This book is exciting and colorful enough to keep your child interested and children learn in a fun way how Caterpillars become Butterflies! There are so many words to explain how wonderful this book is but I dont have room. it's well worth the money!

My daughter actually picked this out in a book store and sat for 30 minutes looking at it before I had to pry it from her hands when it was time to leave. I went home and ordered the book from Amazon.com, which saved me money!

The book's "catarpillar" (which appears on every page but the last) is a slinky covered with green fabric that squeezes and expands again when each page is turned. The story's words are a fun fresh rhyme, and the book shows what happens when a catarpillar goes to "sleep."...He wakes up a butterfly, which is the pop-up that appears on the last page. Delightful. We read it again and again.

It's a fun story and the bright illustrations are fun for my baby. However, the last page is a pop-up so the butterfly's head promptly got torn off--and my son at 14-months almost choked on the laminated paper. Unfortunately, he is now only allowed the book when fully supervised. Older kids will probably love it still, but since it seems to be directed to babies and toddlers, I wanted to make sure and alert parents.

I love this book!!! A great book for kids with the final page such a great surprise, I recommend it for any mom or grandma that loves to give books to kids:) I had bought it at a book store but needed to get another copy, I was so glad to have found it used and in such good condition for being a used book. I would have bought two but when they charged separate shipping for the second copy I canceled and bought just one...was sad about that!!!

This is a very cute little book that has kept my 1 year-old son entertained for quite a few sittings.
