Such a cute book, and the concept is really interesting: Each stage of the caterpillar's life cycle is illustrated by a different prolific children's illustrator. You can see their cutesy, colorful styles highlighted through the book. And of course, the caterpillar is just so hungry.

All the stars! Delightful and perfectly executed.

A picture book adventure tale of the life cycle of a butterfly told from the perspectives of three different insightful and hilarious artists. Papilio is an egg who is ready to take on the world - and does - stage by stage. Clanton illustrated the egg and caterpillar stage, clumsily eating their way through nature and finding a friend along the way. Then Tabor is the bit in the middle with the chrysalis, chaotic and weird, full of hilarity and mystery. Finally, Musser is the tail-end artist who showcases the elegant (and not-so-elegant) stage of butterfly life. The entire thing is beyond adorable and will captivate children while also instructing them on the life cycle of a butterfly. It has helpful and funny back matter about both the science behind it and the way the illustrators approached their job. A must-buy!

As a naturalist and nature-based preschool teacher, I was so excited to read Papilio. Disappointingly, it seems the authors did little research into their purported subject, the black swallowtail butterfly. There are many factual errors in the illustrations and the text. Most glaringly, the caterpillars of Papilio polyxenes do not eat strawberry fruits. Their host plants include members of the carrot family, which strawberry does not belong to. I understand that this is a fun butterfly life cycle story, but by including the scientific name of the main character and adding science facts at the end, readers are led to believe that this book is scientifically accurate. I will not be sharing it with my students :(

The journey from caterpillar to butterfly is a busy one! This very cute story offers the active, wacky, and a little bit weird story of how Papilio grows into a butterfly.

Papilio is a great book as a read aloud as well as using it as a cross curricular book to introduce the life cycle of a caterpillar to a Butterly. We all know about The Hungry Hungry Caterpillar but Papilio also teaches what it means to keep on trying to achieve your goals and never give up.
Papilio is authored by three children’s book authors, Ben Clinton, Corey R. Tabor, and Andy Chou Musser. The authors collaborated on the story and each author takes turns in telling the story of Papilio’s journey as she encounters each stage in her life - caterpillar, chrysalis, and finally butterfly. They each did a great job and making sure that the story had continuity so it didn’t seem like it was written by three different people. Each author also shows a different struggle that Papilio seems to encounter and shows how she overcomes the situation.
A teaching idea that would be perfect for this book is to have a classroom take care of caterpillars and watch as they grow and change/morph into a butterfly. Students will observe and record their findings and finally when the caterpillars turn into butterflies, release them into the wild.

Reading this with my 6 year old grandson was a moment for us! He loved it because Ben Clanton is one of his favorites. I loved watching him take it all in! Great concept having three author/illustrators walk young readers through the caterpillars to butterfly metamorphosis.

A fun, fresh take on the life cycle of the butterfly. Written in three parts by three amazing author/illustrators.
April 22, 2025
An engaging picture book about Papilio (butterfly in Latin) told in three parts by three different author / illustrators. It begins with Ben Clanton's high energy "Caterpillar *and a bit of egg time too" where Papilio is newly hatched. There's some bumping and slumping while Papilio learns to crawl and grab some food. Fortunately there's a friendly mouse willing to share a strawberry. Next is Corey R. Tabor's "Chrysalis" where Papilio is feeling snug and secure, not realizing that a bird is intent on making the chrysalis a meal. Again, a helpful mouse is around at just the right time. Finally, there is Andy Chou Musser's "Butterfly" where Papilio experiences the joy and hazards of flying. And again we see the friendly mouse and this time Papilio returns a favor. A totally charming and entertaining picture book that will be a delight to include in units about caterpillars and butterflies.

A beautiful book about all the chaos and charm of becoming, specifically of becoming a butterfly. Where it does touch on danger, it does so with humor. Perfect for Tot and Mom alike.

This picture book features the stages of a butterfly's life cycle told by three different authors.
Papilio Polyxenes, the Black Swallowtail Butterfly, hatches from an egg, explores and searches for food, makes a friend, metamorphoses inside her chrysalis, and emerges as a butterfly.
This picture book is divided into three sections: Caterpillar, Chrysalis, and Butterfly, which teach young readers the life cycle of the insect butterfly.
"Caterpillar" covers stage 1 (egg) and stage 2 (caterpillar/larva) of the butterfly's lifecycle. It was written and illustrated by Ben Clanton, the author-illustrator of Narwhal and Jelly series.
"Chrysalis" covers stage 3 (chrysalis/pupa) of the butterfly's lifecycle. It was written and illustrated by Corey R. Tabor, the author-illustrator of Sir Ladybug and the Fox series.
"Butterfly" covers stage 4 (butterfly/adult) of the butterfly's lifecycle. It was written and illustrated by Andy Chou Musser, co-author of Ploof.

Picture book. After my son's phase of re-reading all of Corey R. Tabor's Fox series, I wanted to check out his other work. This one is an interesting collaboration between three author/illustrators, with each creator covering one part of the life cycle. So you get the lifecycle of a swallowtail butterfly, with sections on the caterpillar, chrysalis, and butterfly.
Clanton uses a bold outlined art style filled with words of exclamation, inspired by his own toddler's "sense of unstoppable wonder and enthusiasm." Tabor uses a more mellow art style as the chrysalis floats along and Musser uses a more defined style as Papilio adapts to having wings. There is a mouse that appears in each stage, and it is interesting to see the differences in how the mouse is portrayed as well.
As for the story, it's a fun read, with the mouse often stepping in to help Papilio find food. The sound effects would be fun to read aloud, though due to amount of text this might be best for kindergarten and up if using in a storytime setting. Although it is divided into three handy sections which could be divided up over multiple bedtime readings as well. This would be cool to discuss in an art class, how the same setting and characters are presented so differently. While there is no shortage on books about the caterpillar to butterfly life cycle, this is a worthy addition.

Be sure to peek under the dust jacket - the cover of the book is oh so pretty!
When I saw that this book was written by Ben Clanton and Corey R. Tabor, it went to the top of my TBR list. And I apologize to Mr. Musser - I was unfamiliar with his work but he is now on my radar.
This unique book is told in three parts and follows Papilio's transformation from egg to caterpillar, then to chrysalis and finally to butterfly. Each author/illustrator chose a section.
Clanton does a very cute and punny egg to caterpillar stage. Papilio also makes a mouse friend. "Got a full belly, time to turn to jelly." A very succinct way to mark the beginning of the chrysalis stage!
Tabor relates the chrysalis stage. Papilio's chrysalis has a grand adventure involving birds. Fortunately mouse friend saves the day and Papilio becomes a butterfly! Specifically a black swallowtail. Whew!
And Mr. Musser relates Papilio's butterfly days. And how hard it is to learn to fly. And avoid being eaten. Though Papilio is a bit clueless sometimes.
A few fun facts are listed and the authors explain how they came up with the idea to create the book.
They all worked together on the final image.
There is also a nice homage to Eric Carle. All in all, a nice addition to the metamorphosis collection.

Author/Illustrators Ben Clayton, Corey R. Tabor and Andy Chou Musser contemplated creating a book together, and finally decided to follow the life cycle of Papilio polyxenes, the Black Swallowtail butterfly. Each artist took one of the stages in the life cycle of a butterfly and illustrated the challenges and “firsts” of the butterfly from emerging from her egg as a caterpillar (Ben), to spinning her chrysalis and spending winter as goo in diapause (Corey), before emerging in the spring to face the challenge of learning to use her wings as a butterfly (Andy). She is aided and protected along the way through each stage by a friendly mouse.
The final illustration of the book is a collaboration of all three artists, all playing off each other’s stories, as Corey created the sky and grass, Ben adding the mouse on a paper airplane, and Andy creating Papilio pulling the airplane.
This is a delightful exploration of the life cycle of a butterfly, in simple, colorful and clear illustrations and delightful, informative and humorous text. The interplay between the creators knits each stage into a cohesive unit. Well done.

This picture book makes the life cycle of a butterfly into an adventure with bumps and funny moments along the way! I loved Papilio, written and illustrated by Ben CIanton, Corey R. Tabor, and Andy Chou Musser, and I think it would appeal to children while at the same time teach them something about the lifecycle of a butterfly. This is “a tale told in three parts about three stages by three friends” which makes this book even more interesting - what a concept! The three stages are distinct because of this, yet they are tied together. For example in the Caterpillar stage, the first section, Papilio meets, in a funny way, a mouse and this mouse is involved in each stage of her life. Be sure to read Authors’ Note in the back for how this collaboration came to be.
I have one criticism - the story is about a black swallowtail butterfly and their caterpillars would not eat or even want to eat a strawberry, as shown at the end of the first section. Their caterpillars feed on the foliage of plants in the Apiaceae family such as dill, parsley, fennel, and golden Alexander. This inaccuracy does not take away, for me, that this is a brilliant, wonderful book which I am putting on my list of Caldecott contenders for a #mockcaldecott2026 I’m planning on doing in a few months.

Very cute picture book that is a fun collaboration between three well-known children's book authors. But, I can't give more than two stars when these authors, as well as their many editors, fact checkers, and designers never caught the glaring factual errors in it. It's not too hard to do a quick check to see what black swallowtail butterfly caterpillars eat. I guess they all didn't bother to check because they have Papilio eating what looks like a zinnia leaf and a strawberry. (They eat dill, carrot fronds, fennel fronds and parsley.) This is disappointing when they did make the effort to get other things right that many butterfly books do not, like calling it a chrysalis and not a cocoon and mentioning the goo inside the chrysalis versus showing a caterpillar inside. (But I am disappointed that Ben Clanton made it look like the caterpillar was climbing into the chrysalis instead of BECOMING the chrysalis.) Missed opportunity to teach the correct information.

Three well-known children’s book creators have come together to each tell part of the story of the caterpillar, chrysalis and butterfly life stages. Papilio starts life bursting out of her egg. She eats leaves but then falls to the ground. She can’t reach the enticing strawberry above her without some help from a friendly mouse. In her chrysalis, she is safe and sound or so she thinks. A robin gets a bit too interested in her and it’s that same friendly mouse who rescues her. Finally, as a butterfly she finds getting to the flower a little more challenging than she thought. Luckily, the mouse is there again to lend a paw. Seeing the stages done in different but supportive art styles is a real pleasure.
Young readers will enjoy the energy and action in each stage. Appropriate for ages 3-5.

Papilio is a collaborative picture book between 3 authors: Ben Clanton, Corey Tabor, and Andy Musser. Focusing on the life cycle of a black swallowtail, it is told in 3 parts: caterpillar, chrysalis, and butterfly. And this little caterpillar is eager to grow up.
Each stage of the swallowtail life cycle is done by one of the authors. The larval stage is curious, the chrysalis is oblivious, and the adult is preserving. Though a collaboration, each chapter has its own slight distinction in illustrations. Ben's larval is a mixture of paint, stamp and crayon while Corey's pupa is pure crayon, and Andy's is all watercolor. The addition of a mouse character is a tribute to the trio's own teamwork to make this book. Cute, vibrant, and filled with a colorful personality, Papilio is a delightful story of the different stages of a black swallowtail.

Awe, this caterpillar is so cute. I tell you what, life sure is bumpy for a butterfly. This book is interesting in the fact that it covers three parts of the life of a butterfly and three different authors write and draw those different stages. It works well.
Each artist uses different materials for their artwork, but most is done with colored pencils, ink, watercolor and they blend it all together with digital. The artwork is colorful and hopeful. This little guy keeps taking falls, but life is still good and it keeps getting up. Positive. The plants are quite pretty. Seriously, the caterpillar is just so cute, as is the butterfly.

This collaboration by three well-known children's author/illustrators is a gem. Papillio the Black Swallowtail changes in three chapters, one by each contributor, from Caterpillar to Chrysalis to Butterfly. She is helped through her transformation by a friendly mouse and after all her changes, Papilio is able to help her friend in return. This is everything a children's book should be; informative, clever, funny and lovely to look at. There is even a tiny tribute to Eric Carle in the 'A Flutter of Facts" section as Papilio nibbles little fruits, saying "I'm a very hungry caterpillar." If you have a preschooler in your life you have no doubt already shared Carle's iconic book and this one should be next on your list. Let's hope that this trio will work together again!

I have been thinking about this books for months. I was so excited about it, but I have been feeling really disappointed in the actual end result and struggling to figure out why. I think, most simply, the conceit is better than the execution. As a book about the life cycle of a caterpillar, this is an A- for sure. Really good. Really great for first grade classes. As a picture book, it's fine. The three illustrators thing is interesting, but it falls flat. I think all three artists are trying to make their styles seem similar and so it doesn't really make an impact for me. And I know that the draw is meant to be on this butterfly character, but the conceit takes over and then you lose the elements of the actual story. I see why people like this, I really do. But I think it's okay best.

I absolutely adored it! I did not realize when picking it up that it would be a collab between three authors/illustrators I'm familiar with (i.e. Ploof's creator and Narwhal and Jelly's). But I loved that at different transition points of the young swallowtail caterpillar's life, we see it interact with friends and strange things alike and get encourage to discover the world. The sheer amount of wonder and curiosity from the young butterfly to be was lovely to see. The illustrations all worked wonderfully together. I also loved the little set of facts about the swallowtail butterfly at the end.

5 stars (I loved it)
So many things I loved about this book! It's a unique take on an often told story (butterfly life cycle). There are great puns throughout the book. Also underlying messages of persevering and friendship. I especially love that three authors/ illustrators worked collaboratively on the book. Each did a different section of the life cycle yet the story flows together so well. At the end, there is back matter that explains the collaboration between the authors. So yea, i love this book and will definitely need to buy for my school library!

What an adorable book! Split up in three parts. From caterpillar to chrysalis to butterfly we meet our little one through each of the fases and see what happens in each of them. From making friends and eating berries to some terrifying adventures (thankfully she doesn't know) to being a butterfly and flying and more friendship. At the end we get some more facts about butterflies.
This was a gorgeously illustrated book and I would highly recommend it. A fun way to learn more about nature and butterflies.

This collaboration among three well-known children’s literature authors is a disaster. As other reviewers have noted, the text is riddled with factual errors about the lifecycle of black swallowtail butterflies—or simply too fanciful in its approach to the subject, even with the addition of “a flutter of facts” in the end pages. Cute illustrations of the caterpillar and butterfly might appeal to wee ones who have no idea what entomology is. The Authors’ Note might be of interest to those who would like to know more about the collaborators’ creative processes.

I received an ARC of this book for my honest opinion.
I love so many things about this book. I love that it goes thorough the life-cycle of a butterfly with three different authors for each very different stage. I love Clanton’s adorable illustrations throughout, and I love all the mistakes, adapting, and successes of Papilio as he goes through his life. The next step on learning about butterflies after The Very Hungry Caterpillar and sure to be a classic in the classroom.

All three authors - Clanton, Tabor, Chou Musser - work together to bring this creature to life. Each takes a portion of the caterpillar life cycle and brings it to life with humor. I love the mouse who is a steadfast friend no matter what stage the butterfly is in. Readers will appreciate seeing this transformation and the struggles involved at each stage. Told with the humor you would expect from these three.

An usual storybook in many ways, first being that it's a collaboration between 3 notable author/illustrators, told in parts: caterpillar (Ben Clanton), chrysalis (Corey R. Tabor), and butterfly (Andy Chou Musser).

What a fun creative picture book! My daughter and I loved this one! It splits the life cycle of a caterpillar into three stories, each done by a different popular children's book author/illustrator. The pictures are cute, and the story of papilio and the themes of keep trying when things are hard, ask for help, and enjoy the journey, including the weird part of being just a bunch of goo while you are transforming into adulthood.

This picture book is so adorable! I love the sweet friendship between the mouse and the caterpillar/butterfly. Their kindness to each other helps both survive a dangerous natural world.
While it's divided into three sections, this is meant to be read in one sitting. It makes an excellent spring-themed storytime for PreS-Grade 2.
If your library grows caterpillars into butterflies, this book is a great way to introduce the project.
