I was excited to see this was written by Dom DeLuise, the comedian from the 70s and 80s. I had high hopes for a cute spin on the caterpillar turning into a butterfly deal, but it didn't really work for me. The metamorphis was almost upstaged by the secondary (primary??) storyline of people not wanting to be friends with the ugly caterpillar. Once he changes into a beautiful butterfly, all the sudden everyone wants to hang out with him. He realizes real friends wouldn't care what you look like. Maybe it was trying to pack in too much into one book, but it wouldn't be my go-to in a lifecycle lesson.
