I love this classic book. This book gives you a glimpse into the caterpillar's life cycle as he eats his way into tummy ache. Follow his food journey and watch as time changes him into something beautiful.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar tells the story of a tiny caterpillar's journey to become a beautiful butterfly. The story follows the caterpillar as it hatches from an egg and begins to eat its way through various foods, growing bigger and bigger each day. After indulging in a feast of fruits, sweets, and other treats, the caterpillar forms a cocoon and emerges as a magnificent butterfly. In the classroom, The Very Hungry Caterpillar can be used to support early literacy skills and introduce young children to concepts such as counting, sequencing, and healthy eating. Teachers can incorporate the book into lessons on nature, life cycles, and nutrition.
