From Eric Carles Very series comes
The Very Hungry Caterpillar. This book has been
around for a while but I've been reading it with my
son of late and wanted to share it with any of you
who haven't yet read it with your children.
We've been enjoying the reading.
The book is about a caterpillars journey from it's
egg hatching through to becoming a beautiful
butterfly and this is one mighty hungry caterpillar.
The illustrations are stunning and it's got little
holes in the images of all the food that the
caterpillar eats through which the kids love looking
at, sticking their fingers in -- if it's my son,
even their tongues!
Through this book my son has
learnt that caterpillars become butterflies and
insists on watching all the caterpillars in our back
yard should he miss seeing them turn into a
butterfly. It's led to cocoon hunts in the yard, I
am determined to find a cocoon for him to see, we're
yet to hit success.
The book is full of color and
wonderful images, also in the series are The Very
Quiet Cricket and The Very Clumsy Click Beetle
