JOIN THIS INTERACTIVE RESCUE MISSION AND BECOME ARLO'S HERO!
Arlo, a growing monarch caterpillar, is trapped! Some well-intentioned kids made him a "new home", but they didn't know that Arlo only eats milkweed and needs to be somewhere soon. Being stuck in the Caterpillar Palace means Arlo could miss the most incredible transformation of his life! Fortunately, you can set him free. As you interact with the pages of the book, you'll help Arlo escape and prepare for a very important event - metamorphosis. Along the way, you'll discover the magical life cycle of monarch butterflies and become Arlo's hero!
If you love the charm of The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle, the educational aspects of Monarch Butterfly by Gail Gibbons, and the interactivity of Press Here by Hervé Tullet, then Arlo Needs Your Help will become a beloved addition to your collection.
