The Very Hungry Caterpillar (Counting Picture Book)


A little egg laying on a leaf during the night and a couple of mornings later a little and very hungry caterpillar popped out of the little egg. The caterpillar spends the next week looking for food, and each day he finds more and more. One Monday the caterpillar ate an apple but he was still hungry, so Tuesday the caterpillar ate through two pears. The caterpillar continues eating for the rest of the week, devouring through plums, strawberries, oranges, chocolate cake, pie, lollipops, and on and on. After having a huge stomachache the caterpillar slept through the whole night and woke up feeling much better in the morning. Not only did the caterpillar wake up feeling much better the next morning, he woke up as a beautiful butterfly! The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle is an adorable way for little kids to learn how to count. The book is interactive and creatively illustrated.
