The Very Hungry Caterpillar

by Eric Carle

 

About the story:
In the light of the moon a little egg lay on a leaf." So begins Eric Carle's classic, "The Very Hungry Caterpillar". This book follows the ravenous caterpillar's path as he eats his way through one apple (and the pages of the book itself) on Monday, two pears on Tuesday, three plums on Wednesday, and so on, through cherry pie and sausage - -until he is really fat and has a stomachache -- I bet you can guess what happens then!  The book has a great story and Eric Carle's wonderful artistry.

It is good for teaching nutrition, counting, science (stages of a butterfly) and the days of the week.

About the story:

One day Beautiful Butterfly sat admiring himself.  His friends came along to invite him to a party.  He was too much into his own beauty, he didn’t even notice his friends.  When the sunset came, he heard all his friends that were at a party.  He thought he was not invited.  By that time he was feeling pretty lonely, when dragonfly came over and asked why he was not at the party, he realized he HAD been invited after all!  He then followed his friend all the way back to the party. Everyone danced till the sun came up.  "It was the most wonderful party!" he exclaimed.
