That said, Ten Little Caterpillars is rather gruesome, if realistic, in Martin sending each caterpillar on its way into safety or danger with that last page spread an evolution.Įhlert’s graphics are a fabulously colorful mix of awkward and realistic lines and is consistent with this in its compositions. Very useful in a discussion with the kids about nature. Martin provides the names of flowers and critters as you read, and then includes a glossary about the caterpillars, what they eat, and the type of butterfly or moth they turn into. It makes me understand why Martin used bower in one of the lines. The pages are simple with one line per spread with the succeeding line rhyming with the first, using an A-B rhyming scheme.
