What are you guys doing? Were going to metamorphosize.Meta-WHAT-now? Transform into butterflies.Right. Right. I knew that...WAIT?! Youre telling me I can become a BUTTERFLY? Yes.With wings? Yes.Wait for ME!!Ross Burachs hilarious, tongue-in-cheek exploration of metamorphosis will make you flutter with glee, while also providing real facts about how caterpillars transform into butterflies. From School Library Journal PreS-Gr 1-When an inquisitive caterpillar sees a bunch of his friends climb up a tree, he questions their unusual behavior. They explain that it is time to metamorphosize. Using dialogue, Burach concisely walks readers through the metamorphosis process, following a repeating question and answer formula. At each stage, the clueless caterpillar asks the others what is going on, pretends to have known all along with a Right. Right, and then proceeds to demonstrate a total lack of patience. Unsurprisingly, his first attempt ends in failure, thus causing the impetus for an inner change, which brings about the outer one. Burachs dialogue is spot-on, and if told by an expressive storyteller, should produce a lot of laughter. His style will delight fans of Mo Willemss Pigeon series. Thanks to the humorous designs and the bold exclamatory text, the book would make an excellent candidate for read-alouds.
