|summary=Christopher Nibble and his friend Posie are two guinea pigs that loves football and gardening. One day they discover six caterpillars munching their dandelions and decide to keep them as pets. They look after them in little jars and become quite attached to these little creatures. One morning though they realise that the caterpillars have disappeared. What on earth could have happened to them? It certainly is a mystery and the two friends decide to turn into detectives in order to solve it.
}}
Because they have been so loving and caring with the caterpillars, they are completely mystified when one day the caterpillars disappear. They hunt high and low and make some wonderfully colourful posters to put up all over the town of Dandeville. Luckily, Mr Rosetti sees the posters and invites the two guinea pigs over with their jars to explain what has happened. The lids are removed and six beautiful butterflies fly up into the air.
This is a lovely story book storybook and a great way of explaining how caterpillars turn into butterflies. The story is told in a very simple way and the two guinea pigs are very engaging characters. It is lovely the way that they do not know what has happened to the caterpillars and the way that the mystery gradually unfolds. For young children sharing this book, it really is an amazing discovery.
All the pages are very attractive with some delightful illustrations. They are all bright and colourful and all help to tell the story. There is just the right amount of text on each page and some words are big and bold in order to draw attention to them. There are also some delightful descriptions such as:
Overall, this is a lovely book and one that I am sure that will appeal to children of all ages.
If this appeals to your child they will almost certainly want to read more about this entertaining character so why not also take a look at [[Christopher Nibble by Charlotte Middleton|Christopher Nibble]]and [[Christopher's Bicycle by Charlotte Middleton|Christopher's Bicycle]]?
