In the light of the moon a little egg lay on a leaf.
One Sunday morning the warm sun came up and—pop!—out of the egg came a tiny and very hungry caterpillar.

Follow along as one of nature’s loveliest marvels eats his way through an amazing variety of foods as he prepares to grow into a beautiful butterfly! Children will love the strikingly bold, colorful pictures against a simple text in large, clear type. Featuring interactive die-cut pages, this board book is the perfect size for little hands and great for teaching counting, days of the week, and the concept of change as a positive and necessary part of life.
