Has something so strange ever happened to you that it was hard to wrap your brain around it?
It's a bird, it's a plane, no! It's caterpillar poop! Wait, what? Vermont is no stranger to caterpillars, but one summer, the spongy moth caterpillars got seriously out of control, covering everything they could reach. From devastating local trees to coating the ground in slippery poop, these invasive caterpillars had a big impact, changing the Vermont environment forever.
The Summer It Rained . . . Caterpillar Poop!?! is a humorous and educational story about how an invasive species can have huge effects on a local environment. Filled with personal anecdotes and many fun facts, this book will introduce children to the natural world around them and serve as an introduction to careers that can have a positive impact on the environment.
