Die kleine Raupe Nimmersatt (1969)

Lu en français. ( )

As good an intro to bio as any. ( )

The holes for when the caterpillar eats through every day of the week are the best part. Everything else is something we endure so we can get to those pages and stick fingers in those holes. ( )

picture book-

This book is about a small caterpillar that emerges from an egg and begins eating everything in sight. Finally, it is no longer hungry and no longer small. The big, fat caterpillar builds a cocoon around himself and finally emerges as a beautiful butterfly. In fact, what Carle calls the cocoon is really the pupa or chrysalis.

This is a book that shows the life cycle of a caterpillar. It has really colorful pictures. It also shows how good of a thing change can be. I know sometimes students don't like change. But it can be a beautiful thing. ( )

A caterpillar eats anything in sight until it is no longer hungry and then becomes a cacoon and then a beautiful butterfly. Bright colors and collage style are used for the illustrations. The caterpillar and the food he eats is very bright, especially against the white background. ( )
