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.

**A SIBERT HONOR BOOK! **** A KIRKUS BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR ** A BOOKLIST EDITORS' CHOICE OF THE YEAR ** From National Book Award finalist and New York Times bestseller Sy Montgomery comes an ode to one of the most diverse, fascinating, and beloved species on the planet: turtles. With dazzling illustrations and emotionally engaging, fact-filled text, this picture book will speak to the wisdom these long-lived animals can lend.Everyone loves turtles. And no wonder: long-lived, unhurried, and ancient, these shelled reptiles are fascinating.Turtles are also endlessly surprising. There are turtles with soft shells, turtles with googly eyes, turtles with necks longer than their bodies, and turtles whose shells glow in the dark!And each turtle, of each of the more than 300 kinds, is an individual. You’ll meet some of them here: Lonesome George, the last of his kind on Earth. And Myrtle, the 90-year-old green sea turtle who has more than 7,000 followers on Facebook. What questions might you ask a turtle? You’ll find many of the answers in this gorgeous compendium—and perhaps be inspired to help at a time when these reptiles, who evolved at the same time as the dinosaurs, face the deadliest dangers of their more than 380-million-year history.Read more books by Sy Montgomery:Becoming a Good CreatureThe Magnificent MigrationCondor ComebackThe Hyena ScientistThe Octopus ScientistsThe Great White Shark Scientist
