New York Times bestseller and National Book Award Finalist Sy Montgomery and acclaimed wildlife artist Matt Patterson present a stunning caterpillar book filled with fascinating facts for backyard biologists.Small and sometimes unassuming, the caterpillar is easily overlooked. But without caterpillars, there would be no beloved butterflies. There would be fewer tomatoes in our gardens and far fewer birds singing in the trees.With more than 160,000 known kinds (and counting), new species are being discovered every day:Some are tiny as a sesame seed; others stretch as long as a hotdog.Some blend in like leaves or twigs, while others flaunt bold colors and patterns.They can hiss, scream, sting, hunt, or even mimic snakes!They live in rainforests and deserts, treetops and sidewalks—sometimes just outside your door.In this gorgeously illustrated exploration for all ages, the award-winning team behind The Book of Turtles celebrates the remarkable lives of small but mighty caterpillars, revealing how these often-overlooked creatures help shape the world.
