Adios, Oscar!: A Butterfly Fable

32 pp. | Scholastic/Blue Sky | April, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-545-07159-8 $16.99
(4) K-3 Caterpillar Oscar meets a dapper butterfly on its way to Mexico. Oscar then dreams of the day when he, too, will be able to travel south of the border. Bumps along the road delay Oscar's trip, at which point the story starts to drag--until a twist ending. Softly expressive watercolor and ink drawings illustrate this story of self-fulfillment.
