Caterpillar and her friend Tadpole want to attend the Masquerade Ball to win the blue ribbon for best disguise. Caterpillar is concerned that she doesn't have a good disguise, but tadpole reminds her that she looks just like bird poop! As the Masquerade approaches Caterpillar and Tadpole grow and change, soon Caterpillar feels tired and must nap. She is worried that she might miss the Masquerade, when Tadpole can't wake her friend, Tadpole sets off to win the ribbon for her. However, Caterpillar soon has a surprise of her own when she wakes from her long nap.
Caterpillar's Surprise is a fun story with positive messages about change and body images as well as environmental literacy concepts about camouflage and metamorphosis. I loved Tadpoles rhyming songs and body positivity. Caterpillar and Tadpole have a wonderful and encouraging friendship. The changes in both animals are shown through beautifully drawn cute but realistic illustrations. The baby pictures that the animals brought to the Masquerade were a wonderful way to highlight additional changes within the animal kingdom. Overall, a good book for introducing environmental concepts for children ages 2-6.
