First, it includes a lot of dialogue that helps keep the story lively. A lot of the things said by the students or by the teacher are said excitedly. “Look!” “Come closer!” I also like how the drawings take up the entire space of the pages, and utilize the crossover effect like we saw in “Where the Wild Things Are.” This technique helps open up the story to the reader, and better envelope the reader into the world of the story. The overall theme is that of scientific change: first, guessing what might happen to the caterpillars, and then observing the transformation into butterflies.

This is a short and simple story about the life cycle of a butterfly. For the most part, the information is factual despite this being a fictional story. However, there is one part where the teacher says the butterflies will get bigger within a few hours of emerging from the chrysalis. But the butterflies depicted appear to monarch butterflies, which eclose at full adult size. They only need a few hours to pump their wings dry of fluid, not to grow larger.
That being said, this book is designed for very young readers so it does make sense that it is not necessarily super technical. The language is accessible for beginning readers working on their own or for a short readaloud with young preschoolers.
The illustrations sadly do not show much diversity amongst the students. ( )
