Velma starts first grade in the shadow of her memorable older sisters, and while her newfound interest in butterflies helps her to stand out, it also leads to an interesting complication.
Follows the progress of a hungry little caterpillar as he eats his way through a varied and very large quantity of food until, full at last, he forms a cocoon around himself and goes to sleep. Die-cut pages illustrate what the caterpillar ate on successive days.
Presents a simple overview of the lives and life cycle of butterflies, starting with an egg, hatching into a caterpillar, spinning a cocoon, and emerging as a butterfly.
