I really enjoyed this book, in this book you will be able to experience the becoming of a butterfly. The books step by step allow you the reader and the children to understand vocabulary that might confuse children, such as baby versus eggs and when it is appropriate to use each word. ( )

This informative and charming tale about a classroom full of curious children and three caterpillars. The caterpillars become, in time, magnificent Monarch butterflies.
As the children watch the metamorphosis, they draw pictures and comment on the process. They also ask the questions readers would like to ask, thus allowing the author to seamlessly weave tidbits of information into the story .
We learn, for example, that when the caterpillar's skin splits for the fifth time, it is ready to become a chrysalis.
At story's end, the butterflies, after drying their wings, are set free at an open window. The children watch them go with a mixture of sadness and hope. Thankfully, the author does not end the classroom adventure there (as she might have). Rather, Miss Dana shows the children where Mexico is on a map and tells them the butterflies will eventually go there before the onset of winter. The students then write a letter to schoolchildren at a school in Chincua, Mexico, asking them to "Please take good care of our butterflies." Winter arrives and so does a letter from the students in Chincua, along with a picture of a tree laden with Monarch butterflies. "All of us looked and looked," says the narrator, "wondering which were the three butterflies we hatched in our classroom and set free to fly so far away."
