The caterpillar's dream

The Caterpillar's Dream

Sally M. Harris delivers a charming rhyming story in The Caterpillar's Dream.

Even though Kip the caterpillar is quite small, he doesn't mind it at all because he has bigger dreams.

"Kip loves to explore, there's so much to do.
Things to discover in a world big and new."

At the end of the summer, Kip needs a rest and curls up in a cozy warm nest--his cocoon. He dreams of flying over bright colored flowers, and soaring with the wind.

But his dream doesn't last and he bursts out of his cocoon. He wiggles and stretches and opens his eyes to a beautiful day. But he discovers something's different. He's transformed into a beautiful butterfly, proving dreams can come true.

Young readers love the magic that comes along with the transformation of a caterpillar into a butterfly and this charming tale wraps it up into a fun read-aloud. Readers will enjoy the bright, colorful illustrations and you'll find yourself wanting to read this one over and over again.
