<p class="MsoNormal">"This action-filled cumulative rhyme deftly tells the story of a vibrant summer garden…building the narrative with a rhythmic cadence that flows delightfully, offers a rich vocabulary, and adds to the fluidity of the story…Meticulously
realistic, lush paintings in garden-bright color...Repeated readings will be welcomed for the opportunities to look for the clever caterpillar and its changing chrysalis. A lovely literary and artistic rendering.” <em> —Kirkus Reviews</em><o:p></o:p></p>
