Category: Caterpillar

Pip and Cleo begin with different caterpillar problems. Pip wants to explore beyond her leaf and eventually wakes from a long rest as a butterfly. Cleo eats too much lettuce and needs a patient snail’s help to listen to her body. Together, the stories approach change, curiosity and appetite with garden humour, simple language and endings suited to a short read before sleep.
