Summary: Funky but very fun!
Review: A neat story that 3-7 year-olds will surely enjoy. The story is about a proud female caterpillar who boasts to all of her friends that when she grows up, she will turn into something else. She meets a polliwog and relates this story to him, he is facinated. Later, the polliwog learns that he too will change into something else, although he belives he'll change into a butterfly. In the end, the story ends happily when the polliwog learns to love himself for who he is.First-rate illustrations, entertaining and unique story.

Summary: Not his best, but still very good !
Review: Jack Kent strikes again with whimsical characters in this tale of two little folks and their changes. I didn't like this book as much as _Socks for Supper_ or _Clotilde_, but with so many Kent titles unavailable, I was glad to find it! There are some funny lines in the dialogue, and the illustrations are very engaging. A very good book for the read-aloud set.

Review: This book does an excellent job of introducing young children to the basic facts of caterpillar and frog life cycles, how they are alike and how they are different. The anthropomorphic bent takes a little getting used to, but it's not a bad quality. Giving the animals in the story personalities makes the tale more engaging and adds another layer of interest. The story has a sense of humor that kids and adults will enjoy. The cartoon-like pictures are fun too. There's a nice subtle message to go along with it--some of us take a little more time to metamorphize than others, but we get there eventually!!

Review: This is a great book to teach the lifecycle of animals all the while teaching children about the beauty of diversity. My students were thoroughly entertained and I enjoyed reading it to them. Highly recommended!
