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. no reviews | add a review
