This book accurately explains the life cycle of caterpillars in away that appeals to children of any age.  I'll admit it; I learned many details about the caterpillars that I certainly didn't know before.  For example, the eggs are typically laid on the underside of the leaf in order to avoid becoming a tasty morsel for a hungry predator.  My grandchildren and I were all fascinated by the clear and beautiful images showing the different stages of the caterpillar's life cycle.Andrew's questions, embedded within the text, prompted the children to be interactive as we all took turns reading the book. They eagerly looked for the black spots on the male Monarch butterfly, and the photo of the beautiful adult Emperor Moth blew them away.The facts about the metamorphosis of the caterpillar have never been more entertaining.  Andrew, this is the way learning should happen.  My hat is off to you!
