I love this book.  It is the sequel to The Very Impatient Caterpillar.  By now the caterpillar is a butterfly and the got lost.  He is way out I the ocean and it is 200 miles back home.  There is no way they can do that.  He is anxious, scared, and a little crazed.  But the help of a whale telling them, they can do it, they make it home, only to be hit with the next anxiety inducing event.  This book is full of heart and full of laughs. The illustrations are bright and colorful and set the story off perfectly.
