Review: This poem is short and to the point. Very adorable for young children and interesting to start a lesson about insects!

Content Area Connection:

• Art: Drawing a butterfly and the actual cocoon can help demonstrate the overall differences of each stage. Maybe even creating a worksheet with each stage and having them illustrate will be helpful.
• Science: Reviewing the scientific aspect butterflies and the difference of each stage, also all types of insects can be introduced following the lesson through this poem.
