This heartwarming and affirming Level 1 Ready-to-Read Graphics book celebrates the beauty of true friendship!

Worm and Caterpillar are friends—best friends. Worm loves how they are just alike, but Caterpillar has a feeling there is a big change coming. Then Caterpillar disappears for a while and comes back as Butterfly. Will Butterfly and Worm still be friends?

Ready-to-Read Graphics books give readers the perfect introduction to the graphic novel format with easy-to-follow panels, speech bubbles with accessible vocabulary, and sequential storytelling that is spot-on for beginning readers. There’s even a how-to guide for reading graphic novels at the beginning of each book.

Leah’s Thoughts:

I love Ready-to-Read Graphics for early readers, and this one is such a gem. The sweet friendship story is heartwarming, and the “how to read a graphic novel” page at the beginning is perfect for kids just getting started with panels and speech bubbles. A great pick for ages 5–8 who are ready for something new but not too hard.
