This book is such a classic! Its simple, repetitive text also supports early literacy skills and helps young learners practice prediction and recall.

What we did at work this week. And by we, I mean not me; because, I have no crafting talent. I made the grapes and punched the leaves. Oh, and offered my van for transport to the school sites.

This story is a classic by the legendary artist Eric Carle. It follows a caterpillar who weaves his way seemingly in and out of the book through many different foods. The illustrations are beautiful and fun to observe as well as the flow of the book.

“But he was still hungry.“ This phrase is repeated throughout the book, engaging young readers. It shows the caterpillar's constant hunger as it grows, providing a fun and rhythmic element to the story.

I would use this book to teach the life cycle of the butterfly, learning days of the week, or as a math activity.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar is a children's book written and illustrated by Eric Carle, first published in 1969. It tells the story of a small caterpillar that eats his way through many foods before eventually turns into a butterfly. The book has very vibrant, engaging illustrations and it helps children learn about counting, the days of the week, and the life cycle of a butterfly.

“but he was still hungry.“
it captures the caterpillar's insatiable appetite, which mirrors the growth and curiosity of young children.

blurb

watching a child devour a snack, just like the caterpillar in the story.

this classic story of a caterpillar eating his way through a variety of foods before becoming a butterfly is beloved for its repetitive, rhythmic language and vibrant illustrations.

This book is vibrant and engaging with pages of different sizes, getting bigger as the book progresses. It is great for young children to become engaged in the storyline as they learn the life cycle of a butterfly.

There was so much to learn in this book. And it helped me understand where butterflies came from. So glad Lea shared this one with me as we get our nursery library set up.

Eric Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar is a delightful and educational story about transformation and the days of the week. Through the vibrant illustrations, it takes children on a journey from caterpillar to butterfly. The book is a perfect choice for teaching about life cycles

Does anyone know this eastern US caterpillar snacking on our geraniums?? We can‘t find it on google. 🤔🐛🤔

So life is conspiring to make this spoonie really tired, but I have finished a few books, and they are three of the best books I‘ve read this month. (Two 4.5⭐️ and a 5⭐️!) And while I‘m will to dash off an okay review for an okay book, I‘d really like to do these justice. 🤞🏻 I get to them tonight or tomorrow morning.

Cosmos_Moon_River Tussock moth caterpillar is correct… I think they sting, so I wouldn‘t recommend petting it‘s fuzzies. 2y
Megabooks @mabell I‘ve downloaded that now. Thanks! 2y
Megabooks @LaraReads @Cosmos_Moon yes! That‘s definitely what it is. Thank you both!! 2y
mabell @Megabooks Great! It‘s a lot of fun to use 2y
Cinfhen Super curious to hear about the books you loved!! And I love the apps that identify plants, flowers and bugs!!! Sooooo cool 😎 2y

The Very Hungry Caterpillar is a feast for the eyes, and I enjoy him merrily munching away in full technicolour. I feel like Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? is the prequel to The Artist Who Painted A Blue Horse, (i.e. rainbow menagerie) but that's probably adult reading order bias. Still completely in love with Eric Carle's enthusiastically colourful style.

Robotswithpersonality Overthinking begins: I don't know if children's educators have taken a harder look at a book aimed toward younger audiences telling the story of a big, fat caterpillar becoming a much more slender butterfly. I can see this book being used for overdramatic on both sides of the fat positive/fatphobic divide. I choose to see lovely art portraying a varied diet consumed without shame, and gentle nutrition introduced prior to the conclusion. 3y

One of my favorites from my childhood. The illustrations bring such attention to the book and it is so recognizable. It shows the kids how eating food helps you grow!
