1st book in the ‘Orville Series’ The Flight of Orville Wright Caterpillar by Donna Perugini

Looking Through Easter Curriculum for Caterpillars and a Kids Book?

Easter is April 5, 2015

You still have enough time to mail away for the caterpillars that will spin a cocoon and burst out of the cocoon as a butterfly.  You could order the book in time too…The Flight of Orville Wright Caterpillar by Donna Perugini.  The curriculum is ready and free on this blog, so let’s get busy! You can also get the e-Book with music enhancements for $2.99 through iTunes; search iBooks; search Donna Perugini and there’s the e-Book!

Where Can You Find the Caterpillars for Painted Lady Butterflies?

Keep in mind the temperatures in your area for the mailing of the cocoons.  Some places will offer a heat pack with the caterpillars but for an extra fee.  The temps must be above 40 and below 90 degrees.  

Carolina for purchases offers more than just caterpillars as does Nature Gifts.  You can order 5 or more caterpillars as refills, but you’ll still need a caterpillar house.  Find something see through so the children can watch the process.

Why Caterpillars With Easter?

To a Christian, Caterpillars-to cocoon-to butterflies is representative of new life.  “Therefore if any person is ingrafted in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether; the old previous moral and spiritual condition) has passed away, Behold, the fresh and new has come!” II Corinthians 5:17 Amplified Bible Version.  

When you’re born again, you become a new creation.  You aren’t just made a better person, you become someone new.  You are a new spirit, you have your same soul and you still live in your body.  You’re a three part being.  You still think the same way you did before you were born again, but your spirit is new and alive to God.  For the rest of your life as a Christian, you will be renewing your mind with the Word of God (bible).  That way your mind and spirit will begin to agree.  You’ll be changing the way you think and agreeing with God in your thoughts, actions and beliefs.  Your body will follow what your mind and spirit agree upon.

The children’s picture book I wrote portrays this process and more.  The Flight of Orville Wright Caterpillar can make a difference in your child’s life that goes beyond a good, moral story.  What a great gift to put in an Easter basket, or read to a Sunday School.  Craft and curriculum are FREE and included for you, with songs also.  Imagine having the caterpillars arrive in time for them to spin cocoons and then burst out of their cocoons as a butterfly…just like Orville Wright Caterpillar.

Review of how The Flight of Orville Wright Caterpillar is used by This mom who grew up with ‘Orville’ and now reads it with her child!

An adorable story

Format: Paperback

I had several of Donna Perugini’s books as a child and am so excited to read them to my son now. They have a powerful, positive message and are well illustrated. Even though he is only 2 years old he enjoys them and I know the meaning behind each story will change and deepen for him as he grows. A must have collection for any children’s library!

Watch your child’s eyes light up with excitement!! We have three of the four books so far. We have over 200 books at home and Donna’s books are by far my daughters favorite!! We also bought a butterfly garden where you can watch live caterpillars transform! It’s been a lot of fun reading the books and watching the caterpillars. You can also go to Donnas website and print off coloring pages that go with her books as well. So fun!! Thank you Donna!! You’re brilliant!!

THE GREATEST CHILDRENS’ BOOK!!

By Gamer80 on August 9, 2014

Format: Paperback

I am a child of the 80s & I grew up with these beautiful books with thier sweet, & inspiring message. I am now 34, I am still a child at heart. The only other book I can think of that are nearly as good are; Little Lamb. yet another Harrison House Publication. It walks the reader through the 23rd Psalm otherwise known as the shepard’s psalm. You should also get that; I HIGHLY reccomend that. It’s very hard to find The Little Lamb & The Orville Wright Catterpillar books, though. 

Gamer 80, you can now find all my children’s books through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple iTunes, Kobo…or ask at your local bookstore counter!

Enjoy your Easter everyone!  And read that story to your child, color the free pages, get the craft and help in explaining the spiritual lessons in the book on my blog.
