I've read several kids' books this year and What's Inside a Caterpillar Cocoon? is my TOP fave for 2024! It was beautifully put together, informative, hopeful/had a message, and enjoyable. The contrast between the light and dark pages was done well and the illustrations were, simply put, amazing. I LOVE this installment to our kids' section!

Extremely informative and engaging even for an adult! I loved learning about the many types and the way the pages were laid out and labeled, it was very easy for me to understand and retain the information. Pictures were detailed and descriptive. Would recommend to all ages learning new things:)

The illustrations are so magnificent that even without words, this would still be a book worth reading. I learned so much about butterflies and moths, but mostly I just gawked at the gorgeous and colorful display on each page.

I just discovered that [a:Rachel Ignotofsky|14587987|Rachel Ignotofsky|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png] also offers adult coloring books and jigsaw puzzles from her art. *happy dance*

While Ignotofsky's illustrations are absolutely gorgeous, I think I am over illustrated nonfiction books--kids seem much more drawn to photographs rather than illustrations. This book does have great information in the perfect amount of depth for the audience though--definitely one that can support curriculum in science classes or early elementary learning experiences.

This is the second “What’s Inside A” book that we have read. The illustrations are just gorgeous. These one have so much great information to learn, they are a smidge old for my daughter as her attention doesn’t allow me to read her all of the facts. I think she enjoyed this one more than the other one we read. We enjoyed seeing the different types of moths and butterflies and their lifecycles. 
We would recommend this book to all readers.

A nice book that explains all the different stages of butterfly and moth's lives and how they are similar and different. The information is presented in a way that will keep most small children interested. I would recommend this for 4-8 year olds. It introduces vocabulary in a nice way that isn't too clinical, but will take some guiding for kids to fully grasp the meaning. The illustrations are nice and colorful without being brash or too bright. All in all, a nice intro to butterflies and moths.

There is SO much to look at in this beautiful and informative book! Ignotofsky has meticulously researched her topic and presented it in a colourful and captivating way... children and adults will pour over the illustrations to see all the details and names. I love that the main "story" text is in black so I can engage the book as a read aloud and then go back to sections to explore further by zooming into the details. This is a book that begs for re-reading.
