This is a very cute little book that shows children that humans are very different from animals. The little girl in the story learns that caterpillars can't be concerned with checking email. After all, they have better things to do, such as turning into a beautiful butterfly!

A lovely little story, and a great read for children.

This is useful for toddlers; they have a hard time sitting still and a short story is what they need. To me, the proof of the pudding is: Do children like this story? They do.

As a former teacher, I value stories that are homespun as well as the slick picture books. I think it helps kids see that anyone (who wants to) can create a story. I worry that if everything is so professionally done, kids get the idea that creating is only for others.

Ask yourself this question: Could I write a book? Most folks would blanch at the thought. Why? Because, as adults, most of us have bought into the idea that only professionals do that.

I think we should lighten up and let children experience a wide range of listening and reading experiences.

A simple and cute story with photographs of the caterpillar attempting to find something she wanted. Appropriate for the very young.

This is a good little read for those that want to entertain their little ones while out and about. You can download it to your Iphone or Smartphone, and get a chuckle every time you read it.

A little girl is trying to solve the problem of what a caterpillar wants. Over and over she tries. Caterpillars don't want coffee, carrots, or check email. What do caterpillars want? The secret is in the ending.

The illustrations are pictures of a little girl and a faux caterpillar. It could have been a project for a parent and their photography class. But it turned out cute in the end, and it has an "Ah ha" moment for the ending that warrants frequent reads. It's cute, really.

I thought this book was completely silly. First, the pictures came before the words. Second, the pictures aren't drawings, they are polaroids of a little girl with a puffy thing that sometimes doesn't look like a real caterpillar. Maybe, it's me, but I dont get this book. I wouldn't buy it nor would I show or read it to a child. There are many more interesting and beautifully illustrated books out there. I'm giving it a two star rating for the cute little girl and I guess the effort. Otherwise, it would be a -0.
