It's hard to believe that a creepy crawly caterpillar will turn into a graceful, beautiful monarch butterfly. Join Mariposa the monarch butterfly as she watches a monarch go through the four stages of an insect's life in 1 month: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Add a few villains and you have an interesting adventure while learning more about the life cycle and predators of monarchs. Bigger Bigger Caterpillar showcases a magnificent butterfly's journey of growth with eye-popping illustrations, fun facts about a monarch's life cycle, the role that pollinators play in our ecosystem, and how to help this endangered species. Will Mariposa, the monarch butterfly, escape the grip of a praying mantis? Will an ant bite the caterpillar? A treasury of nature, discovery, and mindfulness through the joy of reading! This is one of several nature books that celebrate the joy and curiosity of exploring the world around us.
