A picture book for preschoolers who are learning about life cycles and emotions. Simple illustrations fill the book and the pages/words are just enough to keep a child of that age entertained.

Simple text and beautiful pictures show the sweetness of Bear waiting for his friend and wanting to be sure he's okay. A nice read aloud about friendship and feelings.

Summary
Though Caterpillar has told Bear not to worry about him as he builds himself a cocoon, Bear is uneasy. Especially as time goes on and Caterpillar has to deal with wind, cold, etc. He feels better when mouse tells him that Caterpillar is sleeping—but then.. Bear finds the cocoon empty! At the end of the story a beautiful silk moth lands on Bear’s paw, explaining that he’s the former caterpillar.
Review
This book is great for is simplistically. Every bit as charming as the first "bear" book, this one also features stark illustrations (only the few characters and tree branches against blank pale pastel backgrounds) and spare text. The Bear’s facial expressions and body language convey the message, making any lengthy clarification unnecessary.
In addition to being a comforting, uncomplicated tale about friendship or absence, this enjoyable story can also serve as an early introduction to metamorphosis and spark a discussion on human emotion.

Cute story about a caterpillar... Simpler and not as good as [b:The Very Hungry Caterpillar|4948|The Very Hungry Caterpillar|Eric Carle|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1327878225s/4948.jpg|3144982] though.

This is a sweet story about not being afraid of change. The text seems just the right length, and the illustrations are absolutely adorable. Still, I would have preferred if the main character took a more active role in the plot--as it is, his main contribution is that he worries over and over again.
