What do kids find more fascinating than crawly little caterpillars? Likely, it's that a wormy little insect can eat itself to sleep then awaken to find it has evolved into a mystical creature with angel-like wings adorned with all the colors of the rainbow.
With rhythmic poetry that soothes, and illustrations that are simplistic and vibrant, “Charlie the Caterpillar” is a sweet primer that allows kids to believe that their lives have meaning and potential beyond their present circumstances. One day they, too, can become butterflies if they dream big enough and believe hard enough.
I wanted to know more about Charlie’s new adventures as he flew up to the sky. What wonders did he discover in those lovely gardens? I can only imagine. I'm sure children will, too.

Telling children about nature is a wonderful thing. This is a sweet little story that takes the hungry caterpillar on that mysterious journey that caterpillars make on the road to becoming a beautiful, flying butterfly! Simple story and cute illustrations - this gets the message to children that amazing things can happen in nature - seriously!

5.0 out of 5 stars Charming and educational too!
Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2018
Harry Porter has the knack of making an educational story immense fun for little children. Charlie the Caterpillar is happily grazing on the leaves of a plant when a beautiful butterfly hovers above him and tells him that one day he will join him up in the sky. Charlie laughs and thinks the butterfly is mad, but one day he feels very sleepy and of course, he turns into a chrysalis. When he wakes up he finds the butterfly was right. We see Charlie stretching his beautiful new wings as he takes off into the air to be met by the other butterflies in a lovely story that is such fun to read with or to the smallest child and which teaches them just where the beautiful butterflies we love to see actually come from.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Beautiful children's book with great illustrations, super story and educational as well!
Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2015
Charlie is a mega-cute caterpillar who is doing what all caterpillars do best, (eating), when a butterfly lands near him and promises him he will be able to fly one day. Disbelieving Charlie goes about his daily business until one day he feels sleepy and enters that magical stage where he gradually changes from caterpillar to butterfly.A lovely story for little children, (my daughter loves it), especially at bedtime, with it's happy ending and super illustrations by Bonnie Pelton that bring Charlie to life on the pages.(Must say, I love the little guy too). In a fun way it also teaches little children how caterpillars change, almost magically into gorgeous butterflies and the author has managed to combine the fun of the story with a really useful way of teaching facts to young children. Perfect! Bought from Amazon in the UK, and recommend it to parents everywhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Charming Story With a Touch of Education
Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2015
A charming book about a sweet caterpillar named Charlie. One day as Charlie was crawling high up to a leaf to take his meal a beautiful butterfly paid him a visit and whispered in his ear. The butterfly told him to eat well, then made him a promise that some day he will no longer crawl on the ground but fly in the air just like the birds do in the sky.
Charlie doubted his words and went about his nibbling and munching of leaves and vegetation.
You'll have to read the book to find out whether the butterfly was telling the truth or just pulling Charlie's leg.
Kids will enjoy discovering every detail of Charlie's life, and the colorful artwork is an added delight to the story.

This is a lovely charming children's book for the earliest of readers. My little daughter is too young to read it yet but she loves looking at the pictures and listening to me read the story of Charlie to her at bedtime. When she get a little bit older it will be great as a way of teaching her how caterpillars eventually change and become the beautiful butterflies she sees flying around the garden. I love how the author manages to create a delightful children's story and at the same time give it an educational value. The illustrations by Bonnie Pelton are gorgeous and, never mind the children, even I couldn't help falling in love with Charlie, he's so cute! An easy five stars for Charlie the Caterpillar.

A nice little book for children, or for parents to read to there children. The story is charming and has educational content. Sometimes the best things come from little bundles. For early readers, this could be one such thing.
