Caterpillar hatches.
She crawls.
She eats.
She poops.
She grows.

A caterpillar hatches, eats, becomes a pupa, weathers storms, and grows into a butterfly before flying away. An elegant, beautifully illustrated life cycle book that first graders can read independently while learning basic science vocabulary.

A chart in the back of the book shows the nine stages of the black swallowtail butterfly’s development.

For early-to-mid first-grade readers, Level G books feature more complex storylines than prior levels and a wider variety of structure and punctuation. Illustrations offer support for decoding the more challenging vocabulary words introduced.
