This was my absolute favorite book as a child. It is a great book for students to read. The little caterpillar eats and eats and eats until he is way too full. He goes to sleep in a house he built himself, a cocoon. He is so fat and tired of eating he just want to sleep. When he wakes up, he has turned into a giant beautiful butterfly. This book is very well illustrated and students are absolutely intrigued by this story.

This is a wonderful pop-up book for children of young ages. I remember this book as one of my favorites growing up! Eric Carle tells the story of a newly born caterpillar who is extremely hungry. The caterpillar then eats numerous different types of human food and feels sick. Children learn to count to five and also learn the days of the week in this colorful, friendly book. In the end, the caterpillar wraps himself in a cocoon and later emerges as a beautiful butterfly. Amazing and educational!

One day a caterpillar was born and he was very hungry. So, he ate through many different foods throughout a week and he had a stomach ache. He ate through some leaves and it made his stomach feel better but he was tired. So the caterpillar made a cocoon and fell asleep and one day he ate a hole through it and became a beautiful butterfly.

This book is about the life span of a caterpillar and how it gets hungry. It starts off with the egg, then changing in a caterpillar, and finally he becomes a butterfly. This is a very colorful book, very enticing. My nieces loved this book and sang the days of the week all day after reading this book. As a teacher I would let the students make a caterpillar and on each section of the body have them write the days of the week in order. ( )
