Although the drama of metamorphosis has been documented with
greater detail in other titles, this presentation stands out
because of its classroom setting. The process is seen through the
children''s eyes as they experience the excitement of observing the
wiggly caterpillar, watch it molt, change into a chrysalis, endure
the endless waiting, and stare in wonder as a Painted Lady
butterfly emerges and dries its wings. The closing pages show the
class at the window watching the insect pause
內容簡介:
A caterpillar comes to school in a jar. The class watches the
caterpillar each day as it grows and changes. Soon, it disappears
into a hard shell called a chrysalis. Then the chrysalis breaks,
and a beautiful butterfly flies out of the jar! This is a perfect
beginner''s guide to the mystery of metamorphosis.
