If a first you do not see then try turning the book round.... and round and you will quickly find that things aren't quite what they seem. We follow a greedy caterpillar as it searches for more exciting food than its usual green leaves; but every time the larva comes upon an ideal feast, the would-be meal turns out to have a personality of its own; this being revealed when we read the sideways and upside-down text. Only when the caterpillar completes its metamorphosis does it see things as they really are. An ingenious idea which should provide endless fascination for readers of all ages.
