Caterpillar wants to fly like Butterfly, Bumblebee, and Sparrow, and Butterfly thinks his wish may come true.

Marilyn Courtot - Children's Literature

Caterpillar has an insatiable appetite and he just cannot stop eating delicious crunchy green leaves. While he is munching and crunching various creatures come by and visit. Caterpillar remarks to bumblebee how much he would like to be able to fly. Bumblebee tells him that he needs wings to fly. Sparrow remarks that Caterpillar would need to be light and small. Caterpillar, of course has none of these traits. When a butterfly lands and Caterpillar again says how much he would like to fly she said with a smile "Perhaps one day you will fly . . . " The story of the metamorphosis of the caterpillar into a cute butterfly is detailed in the subsequent pages. This is an educational and enjoyable board book that even has a corner that appears to have been munched. 2005, Tiger Tales, Ages 2 to 5.
