Terry and the Caterpillars
Millicent E. Selsam
pictures by Arnold Lobel 1962
Since this is the time of year for caterpillar hunting and butterflies, here's an early reader combining a story and nature facts illustrated by one of our favorites, Arnold Lobel.
Terry is my kind of girl, curious and loving insects! Even better are her parents who encourage her to keep her caterpillars, finding out how to care for them from the library, calling the museum with a question, and even waking Terry up in the middle of the night so she can watch one emerge from its cocoon.
"I wonder," she said. "I really wonder how this can happen."
"Things can change when they grow," said her mother. "You change when you grow, too."
