A caterpillar notices that others are climbing a tree; they tell him they are going to metamorphosize. He’s never heard of this, but doesn’t want to get left behind. After a few attempts, he manages to wrap himself in a chrysalis, but it’s boring waiting to become a butterfly! Unable to make it the full two weeks, he emerges after a day, only to discover he hasn’t grown wings. Back he goes, and after 14 days of giving himself pep talks, he manages to get through the wait and turn into a butterfly. He’s sure he’s transformed in more ways than one, and plans to be way more patient. The last page shows him joining a butterfly migration, and, of course, asking, “Are we there yet?!

Great goofy fun that will be enjoyed by children of all ages. The whole story is told through cartoon bubble dialogue, and the comic-style illustrations will provide lots of laughs.
