His mom Celeste has the answer and shows him exactly what he'll be when he's big. Children will love this vibrantly illustrated pop-up, featuring lovable characters, engaging rhymes, and the sparkling surprise at the end.

This large, 81/2 by 11-inch pop-up book has colorful, computer-generated illustrations. All of the character bugs and the flowers appear to rise from their backgrounds with interesting effect. Actually, of course, when the pages are turned, parts of the illustrations really do rise from the pages. The eight interior double-page spreads are primarily fold and bend pop-ups that, in combination with the computer-produced illustrations, greatly enhance the lift-off. The simple story concerns a caterpillar who wonders what kind of creature he will be when is fully grown. He consults various insects, one of which is a grasshopper with springs on his feet, until he meets a butterfly who knows. This is a charming book with vivid colors and poetic text. 2002, Silver Dolphin Books,
