The Dance of the Caterpillars by Caroline S. Fairless

By Tina

This book is about a boy named Fisher.  He always gets into some sort of trouble.  But in this book,  he finds out he's going to live with his dad and it upsets him.  He thought that it was his dad that chose to leave, but it turns out Fisher may not know everything.

Let me start by saying that the author has a great imagination.  I liked how she had the main character, Fisher, have normal, yet not so normal, kid problems.  This book is definitely for an older age group.  Fourth graders would do fine understanding its content.  All in all, I would say it's a better read than I originally thought it would be.  If your child is going through a difficult time, it could be of encouragement to them.  If Fisher can make it through, so can they!
