September’ Story

The Very Impatient Caterpillar by Ross Burach

Take a walk on the Centennial Park Walking Trail around Lake Watauga and read the pages of the storybook, The Very Impatient Caterpillar by Ross Burach. Is it time yet?  With a little time, and patience, a caterpillar becomes a beautiful butterfly.  But, one VERY impatient caterpillar is finding it difficult to wait. His fellow caterpillars tell him to be patient, but the waiting is just so hard.
