The expression "Don't judge a book by its cover" applies to all creatures, especially caterpillars. Without taking the time to get to know her, Speckles the spider and Crumbs the cricket take an immediate dislike to Katy the caterpillar. In their eyes, Katy is just too ugly to befriend. Fortunately, Annie the ant looks beyond Katy's stubby legs and green skin. What she sees is a beautiful friend. A miraculous transformation puts Speckles and Crumbs in their place and confirms the significance of respect for others. This delightful tale teaches readers that the cover of the book is much less important than what is on the inside. A bonus to this inspiring book is an introduction to the stages of a caterpillar’s life.
