Review

This early nonfiction has all the elements that primary teachers are now looking for - a table of contents, index, labeled parts of a caterpillar, and one brief sentence per page.It has what young children want, close-up colored photos. These photos were downloaded from Shutterstock.com and iStock.com. There is no provided written information noting the background of either the author or Shutterstock. The brief text describes the caterpillar in unscientific terms, "squishy bodies" "beady eyes", and the text is too brief to give a sense of how long these transformations take.

Overall Book Score: good
