Butterflies are all around us. It's hard to believe these majestic insects with impressive wingspans and beautifully colored and patterned wings were once creepy crawly caterpillars. How in the world does this transformation happen? This Level 1 Reader gives kids an up-close look at exactly how a caterpillar becomes a butterfly. With bonus information including different types of butterflies and poisonous caterpillars, this reader is one of a kind.

This high-interest, educationally vetted series of beginning readers features the magnificent images of National Geographic, accompanied by texts written by experienced, skilled children's book authors.

The inside back cover of the paperback edition is an interactive feature based upon the book. Level 1 books reinforce the content of the book with a kinesthetic learning activity. In Level 2 books readers complete a Cloze letter, or fun fill-in, with vocabulary words.

National Geographic supports K-12 educators with ELA Common Core Resources.

"My daughters have been fascinated by butterflies since infancy. This was a great purchase, as it seemed a bit more "grown up" but was still very accessible to them. It had more information than you'd expect from a 'baby' book, and bridged the gap nicely between starter and early reader."

National Geographic Readers Caterpillar to Butterfly Laura Marsh Books Reviews


  • I gifted a caterpillar kit to my son's class and thought it would be fun to have something to read that correlated. This book is good for reading to children, as well as for kids who are able to do some reading on their own. The pictures are beautiful bright, clear, and relevant to the text. The text is simple and concise, yet very informative for young scientists. There are fun facts and riddles for kids throughout the book as well. Overall, would definitely recommend, mainly for kindergarten to maybe even 2nd grade. His teacher is thrilled with it as well.
  • My 2 year old LOVES this entire series of Nat. Geo Readers... I have purchased about 25 different titles, "pre-readers" as well as Level 1 & 2 readers. She loves them all & will ask for certain ones. The "pre-readers" level books are extremely simple & great because she memorizes the words & can "read" it herself. We love the more advanced ones too, because there is more information to talk about. I have learned quite a few facts, myself!) What a great series. The price is reasonable & pictures are great. These are really getting her interested in nature, animals & science... I will continue to buy these as they are released, for our collection!
  • Was a birthday present along with a butterfly garden for my 7-yr old granddaughter. She absolutely loved this book, could read it herself and was fascinated by the pictures. When the caterpillars in her butterfly garden became large enough to form a chrysalis she would explain to everyone why and how it happened, then she waited patiently for the emerging butterfly always checking with her book in hand. She has now decided that her next year's science project will be to follow the stages of butterfly development. All due to this book. She wants to photograph her own stages and has already learned to spell the important new words in development. Thank you for this science boost for Ellie.
  • I have liked all of the National Geographic readers. We got this one when I did a live butterfly habitat with my 6 yr old as a homeschool science project and it made a very nice lesson. Beautiful pictures, good vocabulary, great explanations of the life cycle and shows a lot of different types of butterflies with their names (important because we always want to know!) These books also make good beginning readers for when your child moves into that stage of reading. Great purchase!
  • Bought this to go with our caterpillar to butterfly project. My 3 yr old grand-daughter was fascinated to learn about their transformation. We read the book when we received our "cup of caterpillars," then we kept referring back to the pictures throughout the weeks, as they formed into chrysalides, then into butterflies. Great book with plenty of photographs. Good for teaching.
  • My son loves this book, as do I. National Geographic hit a home run on this one.

    Not present is National Geographic's habit of digitally adding unnecessary characters to host the book, or their penchant for unnecessary vocabulary ("mojo", for example).

    What is present are caterpillars and butterflies. Lots of them. In photos and in text, the book is sure to captivate the interest of children everywhere.

    Oh, and two tips for parents whose children request they read this book over and over to the point where you groan when they want you to read the book. First, liven up the book by substituting the word "monster" for "butterfly". This sent my son into gales of laughter one evening. Second, amuse yourself by adding the word "midlife" before the word "chrysalis". The play on words will be entirely lost on your child, and it'll bring a smile to your own face.

    Then buy another National Geographic Books and hide the one you've read twenty times in the last month.
  • This is a very informative book for kids about the life cycle of butterflies. It is just a basic knowledge of butterflies in general, no info on different colors/names of the different butterflies, my 4 1/2 year old grandson was wanting to know about when we saw the 1st butterflies of the season in the back yard while he was playing in his sand box. It turned out that the ones we saw were actually a yellow swallowtail/male and black swallowtail/female and a small black butterfly/baby. I finally found that info on the internet.
