"Waiting for Wings is a life cycle book about butterflies. It begins with the eggs that are hidden in a field and then hatch into caterpillars. Then they make their cases in which they will change into butterflies. The butterflies get ready to fly and look for nectar to eat. The butterflies eventually land in "our" garden where we can watch them land on the flowers to eat. Then they fly away home to lay eggs
This is a beautiful introduction to life cycles for younger children. I liked Ehlert's creative use of different page sizes and her rhyming words throughout the text. The illustrations are large, colorful, and simple. She provides pictures for butterfly and flower identification in the back of the book, as well as more information on what a butterfly is and how to start your own butterfly garden. Meant for children ages 3 to 7, this book would be a great addition to any classroom library."
"Painted washes of color on white paper cut then collaged into intricate, abstract, yet wondrously accurate compositions on the life cycle of the butterfly. Done before, of course, but done here marvelously. Oh the color. And the wondrously geeky how tos and data sheets at the back. Makes me want to have more nieces and nephews and godchildren than I can count."
