Caterpillar, Caterpillar (Arabic Edition)

“I come into the world and discover I'm a caterpillar! If only I could dance! If only I could jump! But I crawl… I crawl…” So begins Caterpillar, Caterpillar, a poetic journey through a caterpillar's life cycle, from the moment its mother lays it on a tree until it becomes a butterfly that flies away happily.

Written by Nahed Al-Shawa and illustrated by Dima Abu Mohsen, Caterpillar, Caterpillar combines fun and science, introducing children to ideas of growth, transformation and change in musical language that speaks to them. A great pick for parents and teachers looking for science stories to read aloud.
