FROM AMAZON: A fresh, funny story about a feisty caterpillar who breaks through his limitations -- and realizes his fondest dream, by New York Times bestselling author.

Cuando la oruga Óscar descubre que un día será una mariposa se llena de alegría. Su amiga Edna, una polilla de biblioteca, lo anima a que un día vuele a México junto a las mariposas Monarcas. Para prepararse, Óscar aprende espanol. Desafortunadamente, cuando Óscar abandona su capullo se sa cuenta de que no es una mariposa sino una pollila a la que le gusta comer medias y volar alrededor de un foco eléctrico. En un segundo, sus suenos se ven destruidos. No habra viaje a México, ¿o sí?
Oscar valientemente ignora sus limitaciones y viaja a México.

This story was sweet, and i enjoyed the bilingualism throughout. This would pair well with science life cyclelesson, or studying caterpillars, butterflies, etc. ( )

Story of a caterpillar that wishes to become butterfly so he can fly to Mexico, but instead he turns into a moth. Even though Oscar is a moth he still makes the best with what life gave him. He made lemonade!

Oscar is a caterpillar who can't wait to fly to Mexico like one of his butterfly friends. He starts learning Spanish, but one day he wakes up and finds he has turned into a moth instead. He decides to think like a butterfly instead of a moth, and fly to Mexico instead of staying near his porchlight and eating socks. The dialogue seems forced, which makes this book seem limited to young children. ( )
