Description
“La Farfallina” (the butterfly) is the poetic story of the adventure of Mr. Caterpillar discovering the beauty surrounding him on his way to becoming a butterfly. Taking in every taste, touch, smell, sight, and sound he leads us through his enjoyment of life. “He SQUISHIES and SQUIDGEES in the dark, In the warmth of his metamorphosis ark, As he finishes spinning, he sinks into rest, Of all the places he’s been, perhaps these were the best.” Reminding us of the power that the simple pleasures in life can have, “La Farfallina” is a great read for all ages. Its fun-loving story and rhymes are entertaining to young readers/listeners and the deeper meaning to the story reminds us all to search for the happiness that change and growth can bring to our individual lives. An upbeat whimsical story that celebrates life and nature in full color. Reading level 5th – 6th Grades. Read aloud level 3rd – 4th Grade. A great story for all ages!

A sweet poem story about a caterpillar turning into a butterfly. I enjoy reading this to both my 4-year-old and my infant. It has a great combination of cuteness, a whimsical flow, and humor. Makes for a great bedtime story!!
