The Very Hungry Caterpillar board book description
"In the light of the moon a little egg lay on a leaf." So begins Eric Carle's modern classic, The Very Hungry Caterpillar. More than 12 million copies of this book have been sold in its original, full-sized edition, and the beloved tale of science and gluttony has been translated into 20 languages. This five-by-four-inch miniature edition is truly tiny, with tiny type, but it is a nice size for small hands to hold and flip through the pictures. Despite its diminished state, the book is complete in every detail, following 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. And no doubt you know what happens next! Kids love butterfly metamorphosis stories, and this popular favorite teaches counting and the days of the week, too. A fun gift package for caterpillar fans. (Baby to preschool) --Karin Snelson |

Great Pre-K Book
|
The Very Hungry Caterpillar is a picture book that teaches not only the days of the week, but numbers and sequencing through the use of the life cycle of a butterfly. Like other Eric Carle's books, the colors are bright and the illustrations simple.
A classic book in many Pre-Ks, there are several visual aids and puppets that can help a child re-create the book. What kid does not love puppets?
This book will almost certainly be a favorite of young children and one they will remember for years to come. |
