My, Oh My--A Butterfly!: All about Butterflies (Cat in the Hat's Learning Library)
by Tish Rabe (Author) Joe Mathieu (Illustrator)
Reading Level: 2nd − 3rd Grade
With a little help from the Cat in the Hat, Sally and Dick observe a small miracle in their own backyard—the metamorphosis of an egg into a caterpillar into a chrysalis into a bright new butterfly! Along the way, beginning readers will find out how butterflies see thousands of images at once, drink nectar from flowers, avoid predators, and can be identified by size, shape, and color. Readers will also follow the amazing migration of millions of monarchs.

Hornbook Guide to Children
The life cycle of a butterfly is explained through clunky rhymes, ostensibly spoken by the Cat in the Hat, who's accompanied by his cohorts from the children's book classic.
School Library Journal
Gr 12Facts about butterflies are delivered through rhyming couplets by the Cat in the Hat. "They are colorful insects/whose lives, you will see, /are very exciting./Come on, follow me!" He teaches the basics to Dr. Seuss-like characters, starting with how a caterpillar hatches from a tiny egg. The names and descriptions of a variety of butterflies are included, and monarch migration is highlighted. Although some of the rhymes are a stretch, such as, "With this tube, the pro-bos-cis, /a butterfly draws/nectar from flowers/like we drink from straws!," the familiarity of the characters and the topic is sure to draw readers.
