And that fuzzy caterpillars weave silken cocoons around themselves and go to sleep, then wake up as pretty moths or butterflies?"<br></i><br>It's a rare nonfiction book that's also a simple, beautiful poem. In this gorgeous Little Golden Book from 1957, Eloise Wilkin's stunning and realistic artwork is accompanied by gentle text that brings an awe of nature to the youngest readers.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>JANE WERNER WATSON</b> (1915-2004) was the original editor of Little Golden Books, and the author of numerous Golden Books herself, many of which were illustrated by the great children's illustrators of the mid-twentieth century.
