The Caterpillar and the Polliwog

I love catching caterpillars. And butterflies, but they are hard to catch. Mama taught me that caterpillars become butterflies. It’s a little strange, but God made it that way. I learned from watching Curious Georgethat frogs come from fishlike things called polliwogs. Also strange, but Mama says God creates all kinds of amazing things.

I really liked this book. The caterpillar brags to everyone that when it gets big, it will change into something else. The polliwog can’t believe it, but he learns from a fish that he will turn into something else, too. Will he turn into a butterfly? No, that’s silly. But while he waits for the caterpillar to change, he slowly changes too. And he’s amazed when the butterfly pops out of the cocoon that he is now a frog!
