This is my favorite children's book. I love it because you can do a whole month's worth of extension activities with it. The activities are limitless...math,science, literacy,drama,language, and nutrition are just a few. We always order caterpillars and watch the transformation into butterflies. Children are thrilled by this process and make predictions as to how long it will take, what color they will be, and how many will hatch. There are tons of art activities you can do also. My favorite part of the book though is explaining to the kids not to judge people by how they look- everyone can turn into a beautiful butterfly with a lot of love and guidance!
