"Speckles the spider and Crumbs the cricket think Katy the
caterpillar is much to ugly to be their friend. But Annie the ant
doesn't agree, and she and Katy become best friends. As Katy the
caterpillar begins her strange transformation into a beautiful
butterfly, her friend Annie is shocked and amazed. Speckles and
Crumbs finally learn that true meaning of Beauty and friendship-and
caterpillars? This lively and original story of respect for others
by Carl Sommer is perfectly illustrated in full color by Greg
Budwine and is very highly recommended for young readers, grades
K-4."
Three insects see a caterpillar and wonder if they can become
friends. The spider and the cricket think that a caterpillar is too
ugly to be their friend but the ant wonders if something beautiful
is inside. This book teaches about respect for others, friendship,
diversity and shows how an ugly caterpillar changes to a beautiful
butterfly. Children will love the pictures that are printed on
glossy paper. This book won the Benjamin Franklin Award. A
counselor or teacher would be able to use this book to teach
several virtues. -- June Wilson "Shaver Elementary School, Parkrose
