A caterpillar and a worm are neighbors who enjoy chatting. One day, the caterpillar starts spinning, and the worm thinks she’s gone mad, not realizing she’s following her intuition. While the worm hides underground, he misses the caterpillar’s transformation into a butterfly. Andrew Bond’s story, illustrated by Julie Völk, is both humorous and profound.
What's more perfect than a day on the sofa while the rain patters on the windows? I'm just settling down with books, cocoa, and my long-haired dachshund, when the doorbell rings. It's Fred the dragon, hoping to use the bathroom. There's nowhere suitable for a fastidious dragon. After rejecting all the usual places, Fred sweeps us off through the storm to a magical world of floating pagoda bathrooms. Every beguiling detail in these illustrations evokes the snuggle of a cozy, rainy day in a funny story that addresses the very necessary question of where dragons go when they need to go.
