Review: Illustrations are adorable!
Rating: 5 out of 5

This is a fun book! The story follows the life of five caterpillars. First they ate, and ate, and ate until they developed tummy aches. One night they each spun a cocoon. Time passes, and they emerge as the five beautiful rainbow butterflies (shown on the front cover.) As another reviewer mentioned, it is both fun and educational. My little one did not know that caterpillars spin cocoons, and later turn into butterflies, so it required a little more lengthy explanation while reading than just "That night each caterpillar spun a cocoon." A helpful addition for me/my little one, would have been to also have a picture of the butterflies partially emerging out of the cocoons. Given that the book was a delight to read and the illustrations paired perfectly with the book's story, this one is a keeper to be read again and again to my grandchildren. (I don't mind expanding on the story to explain a cocoon.) The book was formatted correctly for all my devices, both Kindles and Kindle Apps. The page filled the screen and the font was readable. If it isn't free anymore, 0.99 is not too much to spend on this little gem of a book, in my opinion!If you are looking to find other books by this same author and illustrator, this one is adorable, too:Little Love Bug Follows Her Heart on Valentine's Day
