No foods will ever seem as vivid and archetypal to me as one apple, two pears,three plums, four strawberries, five oranges, one piece of chocolate cake, one ice-cream cone, one pickle, one slice of Swiss cheese, one slice of salami, one lollipop, one piece of cherry pie, one sausage, one cupcake, and one slice of watermelon. (  ) booksfallapart | Nov 9, 2009 |  This book follows the life of an egg who turns into a caterpillar. The egg starts out on a leaf by itself. From that egg came a very hungry caterpillar, so he looked for food. He found an apple, pears, plums, strawberries, oranges and a lot of other foods until he was a big fat caterpillar. Then he built himself a cocoon to stay in a few weeks. After those weeks he was a beautiful butterfly. What a great book! (  ) abconnor1 | Nov 2, 2009 | This story takes the reader from the moment a caterpillar hatches until it turns into a butterfly. It tells the many things that this caterpillar eats until he is satisfied. The book is interesting because the pages have holes where the caterpillar has taken a bite. Children would love that. adsinyard | Nov 1, 2009 | I like this because it's a book most people know. I like it for much younger kids. It can help certain common food names to become sight words. Also, for even younger children, it can establish one-to-one correspondence. Also, days of the week is explored. (  ) bamabreezin4 | Nov 1, 2009 | this is a story of a caterpiller that eats alot. This caterpiller eats though food after food after food untill he makes himself a cacoon to become a beautiful buterfly. This is a good changing story or even a good morphing lession story.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Reviews (ISBN 0399226907, Board book)"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.
