Every child counts. It is the responsibility of every adult to cherish and protect them.Nothing. Else. Matters. Please check out my website to find out more www.akidsauthor.com The world around us is full of millions and millions of unappreciated, but amazingly fantastic bugs. From the smallest ant to the largest snail, each has it's own characteristic which makes it uniquely suited to thrive in its own environment. 'What Does a Caterpillar Do?' allows children to, through the eyes of the cheeky caterpillar, meet some of these bugs and to learn a little bit about what makes them so different. Featuring beautiful and humorous illustrations by the fantastic Lucy Rogers, What Does A Caterpillar Do? captures a child's imagination before the book is even open. Inside, the child is taken on a wonderful journey through nature where they meet Bees, Snails, Ladybugs and Spiders. Each insect radiates personality as they watch, with amusement, our caterpillar's attempt to mirror their unique characteristic. The simple narrative uses trusted teaching techniques, such as repetition and humor, to guide younger children through the story with and without their parent's guidance. The narrative concludes by providing the child with the answer to the book's core question (she turns into a butterfly of course!). What Does A Caterpillar Do? Presents a truly interactive learning experience for all pre-k to grade 2 children and will be a firm favorite on the bookshelf of any child!

Autorenporträt

I am a trained graphic designer and creative writer based in Victoria, BC. I have been imagining stories for as long as I can remember but, as a small child, struggled to read and write due to dyslexia. My early struggles with reading and writing are part of the reason I wanted to create a series of books which give children confidence to read. These days I don't have the same struggles but they did leave me with a vivid imagination which I use to 'live my stories', even before they are written out on paper. The What Does Series started as a simple game that I played with my son as I was driving him to daycare. He enjoyed the game so much that I jotted it down and read it to him again that evening. Seeing the way he joyfully reacted to the story was so wonderful I decided to turn it into a book - just for him. Around a year later a friend saw the book and suggested I write another and get it published. Copyright © 2020 by David McArthur. All rights reserved.
