The Very Impatient Caterpillar

32 pp. | Scholastic | February, 2019 | Trade ISBN 978-1-338-28941-1 $17.99
(3) K-3 "What are you guys doing?" a caterpillar asks its fellow creatures. The reply: "We're going to metamorphosize." "Meta-WHAT-now?" The caterpillar's cluelessness prevails throughout this amusing Mo Willems–flavored tale of transformation ("'Am I a butterfly yet?' / 'No.' / 'How about now?' / 'No'"). Cartoon-style art shows the goggle-eyed caterpillar behaving wonderfully badly (e.g., it orders takeout from its chrysalis).
