If you were a fuzzy caterpillar crawling through the tall, tall grass on
a sunny afternoon, what would you see?
To find out, just follow the tiny tour guide as he inches his way
through the pages of this book. You'll see ants and bees and
birds--hip-hopping bunnies too. You'll even hear the sounds some of them
make.
Crunch, munch,
caterpillars lunch...
Crack, snap, wings flap...
Beginning as the sun is high in the sky and ending as fireflies blink
and the moon rises above, this backyard tour is one no child will want
to miss.
