Summary: You truly can't judge a book by it's cover
Comment: When Annie the ant, Speckles the spider and Crumbs the cricket find a yellow egg on a leaf, they wonder what's inside. Crumbs and Speckles think that since the egg is ugly on the outside, what's living on the inside must also be ugly. Annie disagrees.

In the book, "The Ugly Caterpillar," Annie is the only one who thinks "Katy the Caterpillar" is beautiful, and she is more than happy to be her friend. During Annie and Katy's time together, Katy goes through many changes, and eventually turns into a butterfly. Annie thinks she's still beautiful. When Speckles and Crumbs meet Katy as a butterfly, they think she is beautiful and want to be her friend. But Katy explains that since they didn't like her as a caterpillar, they won't like her now...because she is still the same on the inside. Speckles and Crumbs feel terrible for treating Katy so badly when she was a caterpillar.

MyParenTime.com highly recommends this book -- what a valuable lesson children will learn. You truly can't judge a book by it's cover.

Summary: The Ugly Caterpillar
Comment: The Ugly Caterpillar was another one of my favorite Carl Sommer books. This book is a great way to teach children about the importance of true friendship, and the importance of being kind to others. I would definitely recommend this book to others and to school age children, what a great way to get this message across in this colorful, fun to read story. We enjoyed reading it and also learned all about how a caterpillar transforms itself into a beautiful butterfly.
