Where Butterflies Grow (Picture Puffins)
by Joanne Ryder
In a field of lacy leaves, a small caterpillar hatches, grows,
and sheds its skin, becoming a smooth, green creeper. It eats
and changes some more, then in a sequence of remarkable close-ups,
spins a sliken sling in which to pupate--until it finally bursts
forth as a brilliant black swallowtail butterfly. 1996 Paperback.
