It seems to have disappeared, but it hasn't. It has turned into a butterfly! From the time a caterpiller first hatches, it eats so fast that its skin can't keep up. It sheds its skin several times as it grows bigger and bigger. Eventually it forms a shell around itself called a chrysalis. Nothing seems to happen for a long time. But then one day the chrysalis splits open, amd a beautiful butterfly emerges. What a magical metamorphosis!It seems to have disappeared, but it hasn't. It has turned into a butterfly!

這本書(shū)以觀察日記的形式講述毛毛蟲(chóng)變蝴蝶的整個(gè)過(guò)程。孩子對(duì)這本書(shū)的興趣源自之前那本大愛(ài)的“the very hungry caterpillar”,但這本對(duì)他來(lái)說(shuō)頗有難度,好在畫(huà)面精美,不影響理解含義。
