SET HIM FREE. SEE HIM FLY!
Some well-intentioned kids put Arlo in the Caterpillar Palace, but being trapped inside means Arlo might miss the most important transformation of his life! He needs your help to escape! Interact with Arlo, and you’ll make a new friend while discovering the magical life cycle of monarch butterflies.
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 Herv? Tullet, then Arlo Needs Your Help will become a beloved addition to your picture book collection.
“Beautifully presented and perfectly pitched to foster a sense of wonder about the natural world.” —Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)
Why children, families, and educators will love this book:
- An entertaining and interactive read-aloud story that gets kids thinking, helping, and counting numbers
- Includes a seek-and-find aphid friend (Ava) and a bonus Arlo poster inside the dust jacket!
- Teaches concepts such as metamorphosis, lifecycle, and habitat in a fun way
-
Encourages empathy and responsible care for living creatures
Arlo Needs Your Help is perfect for kids ages 3,4,5,6,7, and 8 (or K-3rd). For the classroom, it makes a great addition to science units as a fictional STEM book. As of 2025, monarch butterflies are now considered endangered or threatened in many regions due to their dramatic population declines. The pages in the back of the book highlight the importance of this species and how kids can help them. An educator’s guide & activity sheets are also available on the publisher’s website.
Are you ready to become Arlo’s hero?
