The Little Butterfly That Could (a Very Impatient Caterpillar Book)
Kirkus Reviews

Slow and steady may win the race--but it's not this butterfly's style. Having achieved metamorphosis despite many fits and starts in The VERY Impatient Caterpillar (2019), Burach's popeyed, loudly colored flutterer faces a whole new challenge: tailing the rest of the migrating butterfly flock across a long stretch of ocean. "200 MILES? How am I supposed to travel that far?" Diving down the blowhole of a passing whale to hitch a ride in its stomach (anatomical detail is not a strong point here) turns out to be a nonstarterâ¦but the whale does prove to be a supportive cheerleader. It horks the anguished insect up, admitting that even whales can be anxious sometimes and urging it to "KEEP TRYING" and "Believe you can." Finally the insect boldly proclaims, "I got this!" And 200 miles of storms and predators later, it does indeed got this, landing amid bright flowers to a warm welcome from its fluttery compatriots. "You found your way!" Alas, the triumph quickly turns to fresh panic with the news that it's almost time to go dormant for the winter. "Dorma-WHAT-now?" Stay still all winter? Uh-oh. Young members of the "Are we there yet?" chorus will wince in sympathy. The insect's exaggerated expressions and frantic expostulations will elicit plenty of giggles, and sly pictorial details will keep a broad range of readers happy during rereads. No, whining won't shorten the journeyâ¦but it can make it more entertaining. (Picture book. 6-8) Copyright (c) Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
