"The Very Hungry Caterpillar" follows a tiny creature's adventures as he progresses through an amazing variety of foods toward his eventual metamorphosis into a beautiful butterfly. "Little Cloud" slips away from other clouds and transforms itself into the shapes of things it sees – a sheep, a shark, an airplane. In "The Mixed-Up Chameleon," a bored little lizard takes a trip to the zoo and tries to resemble the other animals, with hilarious results.
