The Very Hungry Caterpillar is the tale of a caterpillar that turns into a butterfly. It is born very hungry and eats all week. Once it is hungry no more, the caterpillar builds a cocoon around itself. He then turns into a beautiful butterfly.
This is one of Eric Carle's most famous books. The image of the caterpillar is one of the most recognizable in children's literature. The beautiful watercolor colages in contrast with the white background makes for a wonderful picture book. The story is great too, because it tells how a butterfly is made. Every child should be read this book.
